I hated Galileo, but now...
Back in my high school days, my World History teacher assigned a group of students to make a play on Galileo's trial and made them act out during class. Reading this book, Galileo, I was reminded of my World History class. It was good to read the actual play.
I liked the last conversation between Galileo and Andrea. When I first encountered Galileo's trial through my friends' acting, I thought Galileo's recantation was the end. So, I had been very disappointed at Galileo before I read this book. However, it was fascinating to hear a different ending in which Galileo hands over all his books and discoveries to Andrea to secretly spread out the truth. I very liked Galileo's professionalism in that scene. My view on Galileo as a chicken with no gut has been changed to a great scientist who abides by the Truth. I feel great!
