We often wonder how the universe came to be and try to unravel the mysteries surrounding it. We ask questions like, how did the universe come to exist? How big is it? Has it always been there, or was it created? This has led to many theories about the universe that have left us confused about which is true. The Infinite Horizon tries to clear this confusion by differentiating what is and what's not regarding theories regarding the universe.

The Infinite Horizon is a book that tries to solve the mysteries regarding the universe, especially that of creation, to an extent. John Dayton tries to clear up this mystery by using theories that explain this concept in great detail. If you've been curious about these mysteries, then this is a book you should read.

What turns me off the most about books of this nature is their presentation. I've come across a few books that attempt to analyze the concepts of the universe. Most often than not, I have difficulty finishing these books due to the way they are written. Most of them read like textbooks, which they aren't meant to be, stating only basic facts with no proper or detailed explanation. This is what sets John Dayton's book apart from most others. Not only does he settle down to explain each point with practical terms, theories, and facts, he also goes straight to the point without beating around the bush. This can even be seen from the number of pages the book has. With only 175 pages, the book contains so much information and doesn't overcrowd the reader's mind. This is commendable on the author's part.

I found the references in the book helpful, as they shed more light on the information the author was trying to pass. The conclusion by the author at the end of most chapters helped in picking out the specific points of the chapter. The picture illustrations the author added to the story were also helpful because they provided a mental image of the topic being discussed. These images sharpened my mind to these concepts and made reading more understandable.

Sadly, the editing wasn't as good as the delivery of this book. I found some errors that got me distracted. It would be one thing to encounter clear-cut errors. However, dealing with errors that made me read the sentences multiple times or visit external grammar sources for confirmation was distracting. This would be my only complaint. Therefore I’d rate it 3 out of 4 stars. I would recommend the book to people who have a curiosity regarding the mysteries of the universe.

I really appreciate that author didn't just simply stated the fact. He went onto explain it for us and that too in such a small number of pages. It is commendable. Thank you for your wonderful review
