Title: A Lousy Read
Product review: I'm not going to pretend that I read this book thoroughly. I just barely scanned through it, and I was mostly yawning while doing so. But I've seen enough of it to warn the curious.This book is filled with pure mathematics. I know it's the language of physics, and I do know some calculus and stuff like that, but come on, save this for the textbook shelves. This Penrose guy is not writing for a layman like me.I like to read about Penrose theories but I don't think I like Penrose as a writer--at least not this book. He should just stick to the classroom and chalkboards. Let other people (like Michio Kaku) explain the Penrose Theories to us.At one part somewhere, near the end, I thought it was going to get interesting when he started to address the Big Bang theory, and the beginning of time, and all that stuff, but then he lost me in some convoluted fussy math and I started yawning again.If you are not some kind of a math buff, stay clear of this book. It's a lousy read.
