Banesh Hoffman's biography of Einstein is the most exciting I've read. The author is a physicist who is genuinely excited about Einstein's discoveries, and it moves fast instead of trying to leave no detail unpublished (a common flaw in biographies). https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-Results&an=banesh+hoffman …

Replying to @paulg
have you read the one by Abraham Pais? He was also a physicist and Einstein's colleague at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Really good as well!https://www.amazon.com/Subtle-Lord-Science-Albert-Einstein/dp/0192806726 …

There's another Pais biography volume, too -- a sort of sequel to "Subtle is the Lord." It's called "Einstein Lived Here," and it focuses on personal recollections and glimpses into the non-scientific side of Einstein's life. Also recommended: "Albert Einstein: The Human Side."
