Singularity, authored by Jayme A. Oliveira Filho and Jayme S. Alencar, is a sci-fi tale set in a future where rampant greed and environmental neglect have plunged the world into chaos. Joseph, an astrophysicist with a brilliant mind, begins to observe alarming changes in the world, such as frequent droughts and storms, signaling a drastic transformation. Determined to find a solution, he proposes a daring theory involving the use of a black hole to access another universe. His daughter Daisy, inspired by his work, grows up to be an aerospace engineer and decides to help him materialize his theory. Read the book to delve into the intricate web of challenges and triumphs faced by the characters as they strive to save their world.

The narrative delves into the rigorous work and challenges confronted by Joseph as he endeavors to conceptualize his idea within a skeptical environment. Themes of religion, science, and humanity are interwoven throughout the book, offering readers a multifaceted exploration of complex issues. Additionally, the story incorporates Christian themes, portraying the characters as devout believers who place significant emphasis on God and prayer in their endeavors.

What I liked about the book was its adherence to the sci-fi genre, skillfully incorporating elements such as references to scientific luminaries like Einstein. The characters engage in developing their own scientific equations to elucidate the phenomena occurring in their world, adding depth to the narrative. The author adeptly integrates informational details, such as discussions on meteorite types, seamlessly into the storyline. Additionally, the heartwarming relationship between Joseph and his daughter Daisy was a delightful aspect of the book.

What I didn't like about the book was the multitude of errors present throughout it. The numerous mistakes in punctuation, grammar, and other aspects exceeded ten in number, indicating a need for more thorough editing. Additionally, the random and frequent tense shifts disrupted the flow of my reading experience. As a result, I have deducted 2 stars from my rating, giving the book 3 out of 5 stars. Young readers and sci-fi enthusiasts alike will be captivated by Singularity, a thrilling tale that combines futuristic technology with relatable themes of family, perseverance, and scientific discovery.

This is a fair and informative review of a sci-fi story that deals with the issues of global warming, greed, and space exploration to find a new place to live. The planned use of a black hole to access another universe is intriguing. The father and daughter teaming up to achieve this feat must be inspirational and heartwarming for the reader. It is unfortunate that there are so many grammatical errors and random tense shifts to disrupt the flow of reading. Great review! :techie-studyinggray:

There seems to be a lot of good and interesting in this novel, so it's sad to see that it still needs significant editing work, including proofreading for it to be ready for reading without distractions. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)
