Time after time he strays so far into self-congratulatory narcissism with his word choice and style that this book practically grinds to a halt. To begin with, Berlinski's prose - while well-worded - is absolutely dripping with disdain and condescension. so I worked this one into the rotation in the hope that it would continue to broaden my perspectives and help me learn about things I've yet to. I've been reading books on science, theology, various religions, etc. I came to this book as someone who's currently trying to figure out what I really believe about the nature of the universe and the existence of God. I wondered for a moment if they'd gotten a more sophisticated Microsoft Sam or Siri type of program to read this book, so take that into consideration. Also, before I get into the problems with content, I have to say that Dennis Holland's narration is pretty monochromatic and robotic. I'm currently in the middle of this book, but even if I found the rest of it completely revelatory and satisfying I would still be writing this review. ![]()
