This review provides clarity. Don't know if I am science geek enough but climate change and the "black hole" provide an interesting concept in science and sci-fi.

I read this book, but it was filled with too many scientific concepts for me. I am sure, though, that those with scientific minds would like it. It was just mot something that I would read for pleasure. Congratulations on BOTD!

Our future in light of current mindless exploitation of nature and its resources is typically a topic I find interesting. This book seems fantastic despite the cautions provided. This book interests me since it is a science fiction novel that is packed with lessons on family ties and plenty of food for thought. I appreciate the thorough analysis. Author, congratulations on BOTD!

Singularity dives straight into the heart of a cosmic mystery, with astrophysicist Joseph Silva's daring theory. I'm intrigued by the legacy of courage and resilience he passes on to his daughter, Daisy, in this tale of scientific optimism.

The technical aspects of the book may be challenging for those not well-versed in science, but the inclusion of colorful images adds a visually appealing dimension.

Jayme A. Oliveira Filho and Jayme S. Alencar's Singularity is an idealistic novel that centers around the Earth's ability to sustain human life and climate change's threat to humanity. Joseph Silva, a brilliant astrophysicist, comes up with a theory on how other universes can be accessed by passing through the 'singularity' of a black hole. His idea places him at risk of being ostracized by the science community. But being an optimistic, persistent man, he holds on to his belief with the support of his daughter, Daisy, who grows up to be a scientist herself. Daisy dedicates her life to prove her father's theory and restore his honor in the scientific world.

The authors of Singularity are no doubt men of few words. While some books take time creating elaborate plots to enamor readers in anticipation of some tumultuous conflict and the suspense of its resolution, Singularity is devoid of these subtleties, as the authors delve right to the point. From the first page of the book, readers are already abreast of the 'deal.' Readers may appreciate this brevity, as the book only takes a few hours to read. However, this briefness may have affected detailed character development, extending to the romance side of the story that is less than half-fleshed.

Singularity is a technical book with many scientific terms that few readers might follow. The authors do try to explain some of these terms, but the fact remains that readers who are not 'science geeks' may still feel like they have been thrown into a strange world. However, the colorful images that the authors inserted in the book give it a bright outlook and provide a sweet balm for readers who are not scientifically inclined. There is also a bit of romance, albeit almost undeveloped.

This book is about family, love, values, and legacies. The sheer grit and perseverance with which Joseph Silva pursues his idea are inspiring. He also instills this in his daughter, creating a legacy of strength and resilience. Joseph said to Daisy, "Let no one tell you what you have to do. Believe in something and fight for it to the end." Readers may want to take a note out of Joseph's book, not only in the pursuit of dreams and ambitions but also in simple ideas at the core of who we are.

The central theme of this book revives a conversation that is very much real in today's world. It is the conversation of human survival on Earth, emphasizing the effects of humankind's activities on our planet. In the wake of this revived introspection, this book may come across as an uncanny premonition of the doom that awaits Earth if drastic steps are not taken to safeguard our biosphere. Thankfully, the book offers some hope for humanity.

This book might make you cry, with some of the emotional scenes. But it will also make you think deeply. The book will benefit from another round of editing as per the errors picked up, which can be distracting and affect the reading flow. Considering the number of errors and the almost undeveloped plots, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book to all lovers of science fiction and curious minds about climate change and its effect.

It's hashtagged as containing religion, and the free sample mentions Catholicism. What role does it play in the story itself?

Thank you for your review of "Singularity." The book's exploration of climate change and its impact on Earth's sustainability sounds intriguing, but the technical nature and limited character development may be challenging for some readers. It does pique my interest as a thought-provoking science fiction read.

This book would be very interesting if it was expanded upon. Developed characters and plot are important things to readers. Proper editing essential for ease of reading, as well as being able to understand the concepts described.
This review did an excellent job describing the concepts in this book. I love how it included the faults as well as the strengths!

Thanks for the insightful and informative review. Without being spoiler there is enough scope to add piquency in reader's curiosity. Jayme A. Oliveira Filho and Jayme S. Alencar's Singularity is a sci-fi based on utopian ideology. Though it is a technical book full of scientific terms and languages yet the bond of family and love has a powerful presence there.
