Gallileo's Daughter

this book was neither a novel, nor about Gallileo's daughter. It would have been a very interesting read if it had actually been about her.

Instead, it was a very boring treatise on the man we have all already heard so much about. I would not have picked up this book if the title had been a bit more descriptive. Say, "boring treatise about Gallileo, which used letters from his daughter as reference, but cared little enough about her character to delve into that subject."

This was for the local chapter book club. I will be attending for the ice cream.
