Title: Overhyped book - bit of a disappointment
Product review: This book is overhyped and was a disappointment to me. The book consists of 2 parts : the first part summarizes the mathematical background that you need for the second part. But the chapters are not explained in such a way that they can serve as stand-alone study material; so if you lack some knowledge, the book itself will not be sufficient to explain everything and help you through the second part.Penrose tries to explain complex mathematical concepts without formula, which turns out to be a failure. I stopped reading the book at about 70% and sold it on eBay, I didn't even want to keep it in my personal library! I wouldn't especially recommend this book.
