What I liked about it was that the author spent the first third of the book discussing how humans learned to measure time (Stonehenge, Sand Clocks, Water Clocks etc). Then he got into the science (Newton, Einstein etc). Then the paradoxes of time travel (going back in time and killing your father) and so on.
Reminded me somewhat of Kaku's
Einstein's Cosmos. He'd devote a chapter to Einstein the scientist then he would discuss Einstein the man. A good mix
