Sounds deep but too technical for me. I would like to know the answers to many of those profound questions about the universe, though. Congrats on the review!

The books seems to be nice and educational but I'm just not that interested. Other people might enjoy it though.Seems to be very interesting

This does not sound like my kind of book at all, as my tastes run more towards fiction. It does sound like you had a good time with a lot of the author's theories and discussion though, and the content sounds incredibly dense with the amount of research that has been done. Thank you for the informative review!

Thanks for the excess detail of information, but this isn't a genre I prefer. Beside I'm really not into book like text subject books.

Sounds like a very interesting book and one that you must keep an open mind when reading. Nevertheless it sounds like it has some valuable information. Thanks for the review.

A look of larger than life explanation of the universe. It would be interesting to have those mathematical concepts again in a rather new way.

I absolutely loved your review! I worried a bit when I saw the book and read a little about it that it would be awful dry but after reading your review it sounds as if most of the book will interest me as I am always looking to learn more about the phenomena of the world around us. This sounds like a very interesting read! Thank you for reading it and writing such a great review!

I have read many stories published by chinese and and japanese authors. When you mentioned eastern religion and chackras, I am looking forward to read this book which by the way I have recently downloaded. Although the topic of geometry gives me a headache, I can tolerate some physics discussion. I will put this book on my next to read list.
Great review.

This sounds like an interesting and challenging read. It can be difficult to summarize a book that's heavy on scientifically and mathematically related idea, but your review was thorough and clear. Thank you, I'll have to add this to my list!

Great to learn that the book challenged you to examine some preexisting beliefs you had on life after reading. I have downloaded the book and hope to read it. Thanks for the great review.

The illustration on the cover is definitely an attention grabber. This book is one that I would like to read. I like to read books that give me more knowledge along with the ones that take me to fantasy land. So this is one that I am adding to my want to read list.

This seems really tedious and boring. I don't think I'm going to like this book. Just not my cup of tea.

Books such as this really do require a dedication to exploring the topics set forth. I admire the author's undoubtedly extensive efforts in researching and compiling this work. I'm curious if this book has at its base the Fibonacci Sequence, as the cover suggests. I think this is a bit heavy for me currently, but I could definitely see myself taking a look. Great review!

It is quite interesting to know more about the things we can't fully explain such as how everything came to place. This book is a great one tackling these things however it seemed overwhelming for a short read. Congratulations for a detailed review sumarizing the books' pros and cons.
