Good review! I love Dr. Seuss so anything that has to do with him or sounds vaguely similar I’m interested in. A new world of science is catchy. I’ll have to give this book a try.

While the review was impeccable, I am not sure about this book. It sounds like it has some beautiful imagery, but it also sounds like it could be rather confusing for readers. I liked the comparison of Dr. Suess; that's what made me more inclined to read this book. Thanks for the wonderful review!

A mind-twisting book exploring science in a unique way sounds challenging and fabulous. I have added this one to my reading list. Great review!

I love science fiction and things alike but poetry isn't my thing. I'll skip this one I think.

Seemingly this is a tangled mess like noodles. It is currently in my given list of books to be selected for reviews. I may give a try for this. Anyway, congratulations on being BOTD

A science fiction blend of poetry and rhyme sounds interesting. The confusing bits and editing errors are unfortunate, but this book does make me curious to read it.

I think I would enjoy this book very much. I really like word play in books, whether it be with meaning, sound or both, I find it fascinating. Just because of this, I would very much like to read this book, and if I can learn something along the way, all the better.

I totally loved reading this book. I admit that the science bits can get a little difficult to understand, but they grow on you! Amazing review by the way. Good job.

This is a science fiction educational book on explaining quantum theory and spring theory through Zots and Xoodles. The book is free on Kindle Unlimited and has an interesting OnlineBookClub review. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats on the BOTD selection.

This doesn't sound like a book for me. The way it is written doesn't appeal to me. Great review.

The title alone lets you know the book is one of a kind. A blend of Lewis Carrol, Dr. Seuss and Douglas Adams can't be easy to achieve. So, kudos to the author for a good attempt. And kudos to you for an awesome review!

This may sound terrible, but mass confusion and reading something like this is just not my genre. I find that science has always been a challenge for me as it is, and then to have poetry thrown in would probably confuse me more. I applaud you for reading this one and writing such an insightful review. Thanks for more information as the sample of this gave only information about the author.

I'm not sure I vividly understood the review. I tried following through but I see some obstacles in understanding and capturing the flow. I would have preferred the cover to be a little bit more appealing. All in all, congrats on being the BOTD.

Thank you for your review. I had this book on hold because I wasn't sure if I was ready for the specialized scientific lingo and ideas. However, I am glad that it still managed to surprise you. Despite the errors, if it asks big questions about existence that way, then it is still worth reading for me.
