An Ok read! - By: , 09 Mar 2003 
What a thrill I thought as I picked up the book. I thought It was going to be wonderful. But It wasn't. The pictures were daft & the style of writing of Poskitt was below average.
An Ok book.
Mad genius - a great story - By: , 07 Apr 2002 
A friend told me to read this book, but to miss out the difficult science bits. It was amazing. Isaac Newton was really clever, but really nasty! He did some awful experiments & nearly burnt himself to death. When I went back to read the science bits he invented like gravity & maths I found I could understand them quite well. A really good book to read to for anybody (even if you don't like science much!) It's got really good cartoons & pictures too.
This book is a great inspiration! - By: Mr. V. Shah, 28 Jan 2002 Even though i'm 20, i picked up this book because of my lil bro who's 12. I sat, opened the book & couldn't put it down! it took me less than a day to read it, & it not only taught me about Sir Isaac Newton, but inspired me to learn further, & not give up on work!
