Title: The Elegant Universe, an inelegant treatise
Review: When I picked up this book, I had high expectations. Not only is Professor Greene a pre-eminent physicist and expert in string theory, he also worked with PBS to produce Nova episodes. I expected that the book would be both compelling and clear, but unfortunately my expectations were not met. The physics of the book was too advanced and the explanations very weak. I forced myself to read as far as the fourth chapter, after which I gave up. Does this then entitle me to even write a review? I believe so, because I gave this book an honest effort. I just finished reading the "The God Particle" by Leon Lederman which I found much more informative and humorous, but which also provided a lot of background in physics that would have been useful in understanding "The Elegant Universe". I might give the "The Elegant Universe" another try (except that I gave the book away).
