Reading this book one can't help but feel that education is everything and that as much as you put in the eduction of a boy, it will come back to you. People in Russell's days were well-educated. I ... Read full review

Review: The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell

User Review  - Louisa - Goodreads

On the surface, one would think that Bertrand Russell had everything a man could ever wish for. He was one of the most influential men of the 20th century. He had a brilliant mind and wrote books on a ... Read full review

User Review  - Christina - Goodreads

Loved the first half, enjoyed the next third - didn't finish it. Russell is very chatty in the early part of the book - it's a great social history of the ruling classes in the UK in the late 1800s and early to mid 1900s. Read full review
