Stillpoint by James Ross Godbe focuses on the Fibonacci sequence that took the nautilus shell in account for its measurements of patterns found in nature as one way to attempt to find answers. Sounds a great read. Great review!

Thanks for your well worded and thoughtful summary and review of this book. It looks like the author has done extensive research and I applaud his desire for truth. However, I don't think this one is for me.

How interesting! A book that explores the geometry of the universe, that will enchant readers of this genre. I am very interested to learn more about this subject, assuming it is based on solid scientific and mathematical assumptions. Many thanks for a very good review of this exciting book today.

I've heard of sacred geometry before but I've never researched it enough to know how accurate it is. This book seems like it has a lot of research that explains what sacred geometry is, and how it can explain life forms on Earth so I might want to read this. I also want to say that I greatly admire your writing style. It has been a long time since I've read a review as thoughtful and well written as yours.

This books sounds highly academic and philosophical and will certainly attract its unique fan club. I commend the writer for successfully publishing his book cognizant of the fact that it may not be quite a popular topic.

I will not read this book for the reason that it contains the concepts of science, mathematics, and physics. These topics or courses mentioned earlier would make reviewing the work difficult for me. In addition, the book is long to follow as I found it to be over six hundred pages on Amazon Kindle.

This book sounds very insightful and though provoking. Though, I'm not super interested in the geometric puzzling laid out in this book.

I believe in scientific explanations, thus I don't think I would enjoy this book. Though, since I already have it, I might read it some day. I'm just curious how some people think. The mind in general interests me a lot.

The review makes this book sound fascinating. I have always been interested in things like the Fibonacci sequence and similar mathematical theorems and their relevance to life and the workings of the universe. It does sound as if the author tends to become a bit esoteric at times however I will be interested to read this and discover for myself. Personally, I don't think enough is known of other solar systems to actually comment on the relevance and nature of ours. Nevertheless, this sounds like an interesting book and the review was very comprehensive.

The concept of attributing geometry to the creation of the universe, Paranormal Activity, and even down to level of DNA, sounds interesting. I may just have to look closer at this one.

Thank you for your review, it made me curious about the book. Connecting geometry to larger questions of the universe, and the demand for leaps of 'faith' reminds me of a number of new age books I have read in the past. Those books had me angry for months after reading it from all of the unsubstantiated claims and tenuous links presented from the authors. I am very interested to see if this book follows the same path, or is based on solid logic and reason. Something I am hopeful of as you mentioned there was tremendous amount of research embedded into the book.

Information on the origins of Earth and the inhabitants have always fascinated me. I'm also looking forward to the information about the math portion in the book. Mathematics is the foundation for everything, at least it is what I believe.

I appreciate the research the author did but just didn’t speak my interest. Sounds like a challenging and eye opening read that will be appreciated by many.
