Ted is a smart
guy by just not smart enough to stand out at work. When he finds out that his
wife’s father worked for his idol, Albert Einstein, Ted is determined to find
out if he gleaned any knowledge during that time. Turns out, he might have. But the old man is
senile and when is he semi present, he remembers that he hates Ted. Can Ted wheedle
the information out of him? What will he do if he does?
I thought the
main character was so pathetic that I dreaded reading his story. The colors are
depressing just like him. The plot was anti-climactic and muted. I felt like
there should have been more of a tie-in to Einstein. I think this book will fail to draw readers in. Includes an illustration of a naked man.
