 Excellent! Reading this book was time well spent. December 31, 2008
Oliver Cromwell, English Civil War, King Charles I, The Plague, London's Fire, Halley's Comet and more are all put into the context of Sir Isaac Newton's life. Science mixed with History, Religion and Biography are held together by an engaging story which can be enjoyed by all ages. I highly recommend this book.
A review from a kid in AZ December 7, 2005
The title of the book is Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton was a boy born on Christmas. Isaac was interested in models at first, but his interests changed. Soon he became more intrigued in other things, and he started studying things like Science, Physics and, Math. Through his youth, Isaac transferred from many schools.In the future he wanted to start doing experiments of his own. This story takes place in many settings such as, his home, Trinity University, ext. The theme of the book is, go out and learn. I liked this book because it taught me many things, like where ring around the rosies came from.

This story takes place in many settings such as, his home, Trinity University, so on.The theme of the book is go out and learn. I give the book 4/5.
Well written and enjoyable! August 7, 2005
I love this book, and read it because my 9 year old son said he enjoyed it so much! Newton is an amazing man and is to be looked up to. His accomplishments are incredible, and include more than gravity! I'm interested in his theological writings and thoughts as I never knew he had any...all I managed to learn in school was that an apple fell on his head and this led to his discovering gravity. The things you miss in grade school! Newton is a fascinationg subject for people of all ages and this book is a great starting point for adults who missed much of what went on in class. For children it is a far more accurate and rounded teaching tool than I ever received for those who are interested in science and in character building.
Great to read aloud!
 Invents a cardboard Newton to fit Fundamentalist needs. February 13, 2000
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book serves up a bowdlerized version of Sir Isaac Newton that has been carefully crafted to make him look like a modern Evangelical Fundamentalist. It makes good Sunday-school reading, perhaps, but it doesn't make for accurate biography.Sir Isaac Newton was indeed a committed Christian and an almost obsessed Biblical scholar, as well as a towering mathematical genius. However, his years of scholarship ultimately led him to reject the doctrine of the Trinity and adopt a system of Christian belief that was closer to Arianism than to orthodox Christianity. See the essays collected in John Fauvel's <> for more information on this view of Newton and the evidence for it in his personal notebooks. See also Dr. Betty Jo Teeter Dobbs' careful study <> to understand how important the thirty years Newton spent investigating the claims of alchemy were in the development of his mature scientific philosophy.
