  "Felt like reading a textbook." by norcalbeliever (see profile) 02/01/10

 
  "UGH, UGH, UGH!" by vickcat180 (see profile) 02/01/10

There was really nothing to discuss. I can see where some people would find the information interesting, but not a good pick for a discussion group.

 
  "More of an Individual Read instead of a Book Club Read" by JustMe (see profile) 02/02/10

I have never been a fan of science but this book made mind-bending theories easy to understand and relevant to the average person. I loved his tongue-in-cheek side comments through-out the book. Readers in a rush will not like it as this one is a slow read! I wouldn't recommend this EVER for a book club read. The majority of our club didn't want to complete it because they absolutely hated it.

  "Great book but dense" by Ashlie (see profile) 12/17/16

I loved the book and how he addressed the history of science. Most of my book club members agreed. Only thing to keep in mind it is a dense book so it is best for a time of year when people can dedicate more time to reading it.
