Negative Positive
Title: Big dissapointment
Review: I bought this book based on reviews I read here and heard on NPR. I expected this book to reveal the secrets lying behind the solution to one of the most challenging problems of mankind. Instead I learned about the political intrigues surrounding the making of the clocks. Being an engineer myself I found the book not fulfilling its promise of demystifying the intricate mechanism and technical difficulties of building the first watch.
Is the review positive or negative?
