4 star experience for me. I love the world building; I like how detailed the description of the scenes is; and of course, I really love the science behind every incident in the story. It is “so Andy Weir.” I kinda understand why there are a lot of negative reviews. It is basically a heist story, so people will compare it to other heist stories and to other Weir's novels.

The main character, Jazz, I like her personality, I don't really understand why a lot of people don't like her. Yes, she is arrogant and childish, but that is the main idea of her character. I think her behavior is realistic, as a girl who lives her life in a difficult environment.

Overall, i enjoyed the book, and it is a 4 star experience for me.

The book is not what I expected. I was expecting the book will cover a detailed explanation of quantum interpretation. I mean, it did, but only 20% of the book, the rest is about politics, more specifically, politics which shaped the understanding of the quantum phenomenon.

Don't get me wrong. It is very interesting to learn about scientist's view and their background, which ultimately shaped their formalisation on quantum theory. But, the portion of this particular part is too much compared to the quantum physics interpretation explanation.

Maybe this arrangement of the book will be interesting for some people, but it is not working for me.

I love this book! I am somehow really curious about string theory but I am not sure which book I should start to read. I am glad this is the starting point for me to read about string theory. I do enjoy all of the analogies that Brian Greene uses, I know it is not really representing the real scenario, but for a non-physicist like me, it is already more than enough. However, the last 2 chapters before the epilogue were quite exhausting. My reading speed is significantly slower when I enter these chapters. But, it is a nice journey from Brian Greene. I will definitely read the other books from him.

A good summary of discovery of quantum mechanics, and also, a very gentle introduction of Loop Quantum Gravity. Experienced people may see the explanations are too simple, it is very broad and abstract. However, this is actually perfect for starters like me, warming-up my brain to another bizzare theory quantum gravity.

This book is very good for people who is starting to learn about cosmology. It is very light for me, then i give it to my father, and he loves it.

This book made me more appreciate the beauty of our Nature; how grande and elegant they are. Every species are connected by space (ecosystem) and time (evolution). Dawkins beautifully explains evolution in a way that you really respect the beauty of how nature works, truly the greatest show on earth.

One side note, Dawkins likes to oppose creationism, for me it does not really matter, but I think I can't recommend this to my hardcore creationism friends, as they might easily drop off the book.

I enjoyed the topics that are raised by the author in this book. They are indeed existential questions; some of them are also questioned by me, usually at 2 AM, contemplating the meaning of life :') ...sorry, I got distracted.

Some chapters are more interesting than others, so it has ups and downs throughout the book. Not all the topics (chapters) are ended up with existential crises. The author actually answers and explains it very well with our current understanding of physics. A bit anti-climatic, I suppose, but that is better than exaggerated mumbo-jumbo pseudoscience.

I love the way the author writes the book. To the point and straightforward. Her mindset is always scientifically oriented, but it doesn't make her hostile to religious points of few. I was impressed when she said that “God hypothesis is not wrong, it is just a scientific, just like unobservable multiverse theory (at least for the time being).” Well, that is a non-mainstream opinion compared to most authors of popular science books, ...which is great!
