Great review, thanks for mentioning that the plot was easy to follow, I'm always hesitant to read a time traveler novel as the story tends to jump around a lot!

I have a hard time connecting Albert Einstien and mystical travelers in the same story! This sounds like an intriguing book for those who are fans of this genre, but I am going to pass on this one! Great review!

Young adult fiction is my favorite genre so this book definitely sparks my interest. I especially like how the fiction is woven in with realism from actual historical pieces of Alber Einstein's life. This makes the book really cool and immersive as the reader can follow along and make the connections. Congrats on the BOTD!

This young adult fantasy novel pits ultimate good against evil, greed, and hatred. The four travelers are those who are thought to have given everlasting hope and life to human existence. The boy, Albert (who happens to be Albert Einstein), innocently obtains the mystical Shamir Stone and is caught in the middle of the struggle between the vengeful fallen angel, Raka, and the four protectors. I hope I got that right! Thanks for your excellent review!

Mystical fiction is always interesting to read and mixing it with a little of reality is intriguing.

Maybe I'm too old for this kind of story but this novel seems like an engaging adventure with supernatural elements and Albert Einstein as its protagonist. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

Very good review, containing all a would-be reader should know before buying the book. I am not a fan of mystical fiction, but the resemblance with events in the real life of Einstein is interesting, to say the least.

When I saw the title, "Einstein's Compass," I thought it would be a book based on some scientific research. But, the supernatural aspect has got me all curious, and the description seems interesting, so I'm going to check it out.

What is the Shamir Stone? Will Raka's revenge plans succeed? What's Albert's role in the story? I'd like to read the book to find the answers. I'm also interested in the similarities with Einstein's life. Thanks for a great review!

Albert Einstein is one of my most revered scientists. A book centered around him, fictional or not, is a must-read for me. I see he is the hero of this narrative.

This a fight of the shamir stone. Do they protect it? Or does the angel succeed in obtaining it. The story line is intriguing. The sides picked. The mythical beings? This would make a nice screenplay let alone a great read.
