Newton's Apple Didn't Fall Far From the Funny Tree offers a fresh, albeit slightly chaotic, perspective on scientific history. The documentary-gone-awry premise creates some truly hilarious scenarios, particularly with the temporal tech malfunctions. While the concept of a klutzy Newton is charming, the narrative sometimes feels a bit too reliant on the gimmick, and the pacing could be tighter. The book effectively highlights the human side of genius, showcasing trial and error with a good dose of humor. However, the meta-commentary, while intended to be insightful, occasionally pulls the reader out of the story itself. The characters, especially the documentary crew, are more archetypes than fully fleshed-out individuals. Ultimately, it’s a light and entertaining read that might make science history feel more accessible to younger audiences. I would recommend it for those who enjoy quirky humor and a less conventional approach to biography.
