Negative Positive
Title: A very disappointing book.
Review: Unfortunately this book confuses most of the technical descriptions of Newton's work with florid, complex and ultimately meaningless prose. In trying to add intuitive meaning to the mathematical aspects of simple physics it utterly misses the mark while boring the reader to death. I can only assume that a lay person would be thoroughly confused by the meandering, 'poetic' and intangible descriptions used to pad these chapters. Some of the historical context and notes about Newton and his contemporaries are interesting but the chronology is often lost because the author jumps to different events, forward and back in time without bothering to make this clear to the reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
