Science is a lot to take in and infinitely broad in scope. The book seemed to be deeply researched and the book cover very interesting and mind-boggling. Fans of this genre must be really excited to dig in. Congrats!

It is obvious that author put much research to this book, but I personally still don't consider it to be true sience. Sorry.

Once again a book is given an inappropriate rating. The reviewer mentions typographical errors but does not mark off for them. Sadly these kind of reviews are becoming common place.

Since I've study philosophy, I'd give this book a go. I've noticed that it's hard and complicated in some parts but nevertheless, I'm really curious to see who the author explains all these theories.

Sounds like the author has done his research in presenting a complex subject. May be a little too heavy on the math and science for me, but it’s good the author attempted to give enough detail to help the average reader. Awesome review!

Thanks for the insightful review of this book. It definitely sounds like the author has done a lot of research concerning this topic and proceeds to go very in-depth with the information that he has come up with. I think that, for me, this book is a bit too deep and that some of the content, if not most would be too complicated for me to fully understand and enjoy. I'm more of a fiction genre so I don't think that this book will be a good fit for me. I'm glad that you enjoyed though.

After reading the first few chapters, this seems like an epic, research-based spiritual book. A fascinating oxymoron to me. The author does a good job stressing a sense of urgency for change in the world due to overpopulation and the extreme poverty still all over the world. The topic seems very interesting but this book is too dense with information for me.

This book reminds me of the Golden Ratio concept. I have always been a horrible math and physics student but excelled in geometry. The idea of our entire existence being governed by mathematics is totally spellbinding for me. I am glad this book was offered for free today because I am looking forward to reading it.

I never saw things in a geometrical sense, especially the universe. It is also clear in your review to whom the book will garner interest. Though I am a person of faith, my scientific education taught me to explore possibilities like these. Thanks for a very detailed review!

Great review! As you mentioned, this book seems like a complex topic that could be dense or too scientific for a reader and for these reasons I don't believe this is a book for me. With this being said, I love the topic and would love to see some of the authors points about how Earth and life were formed, but I don't believe this would be a good fit for me.

This is a detailed and well-written review, unfortunately the subject matter is one I usually avoid. As such I might not be able to read this book with an open mind. I will definitely pass.

A book explaining geometrical patterns in the solar system as well as the universe. Too complex a topic for me. Thanks for review.
