I liked the writing style. It made the book more engaging. But my favorite parts were the stories about different people in history, like Sir Isaac Newton.

I did enjoy the writing style, he is clearly a very competent writer and manages to express complex ideas pretty coherently. The narrative sections were also good at breaking up the flow a bit and letting you take a break from the constant flow of information. It definitely helped add a human touch to the historical aspects

I think it is a great way to simplify and create engagement for such a dry and difficult topic.
Yes! This is what I enjoyed about the book the most. The way the author begins each chapter with a story and then explains the theories, simplified the content for me to a large extent.

I read a ton of non-fiction books and, in my experience, a lot of them have a similar writing style; it's often academic and objective. The Biblical Clock, though, was an incredibly nice surprise to me because of the writing! I loved the mix of fiction in between his explanations; I think the subjectivity made his point easier to understand; it was a great way of keeping the reader engaged as well; I couldn't stop reading it!

Yes. I completely agree with you. That is the best thing I like about the book. The way the author has used his imagination to convert nonfiction in beautiful fiction stories is very enjoyable as a reader.

To be honest, all of the extra stories confused me a bit. I felt like it took a while for him to get to his points in each chapter because of the extra stories.

I also find this method engaging. It helps me in concentration. Presenting the book in a dialogue form makes the story more interesting. Many questions are also answered in this way.

I love the writing style. Narrating the stories that accompany his discoveries or that of the Rabbis helped create an atmosphere of interactivity. The book provides an answer based on the subject of the Universe's age in an attempt to show how the scientific data agrees with thee scripturally provided perspective. It's nicely written and earned

I enjoyed the Wiring style of the author. Just as in most of his books, his tone is always engaging, clear, and affirmative. The author's writing style makes up for the book's enjoyment and engaging quality. Indeed, it makes the difficult concept touched come simplified.

How the author used stories and dialogues between people made the book easier to engage in. I loved his style of writing, for a complex topic like this one indeed it needed just the creativity that Friedmann has used to ease up the reading.

Honestly, if not such a brilliant writing style used by the author, this book could have easily bored me. The author simplified writing style was an evident display of his talent. I love the narrative used in this book,
