Regardless, I still enjoyed the plot. Ron is a thought-provoking character. I wondered all through the kind of person he is. I also liked the ironic ending. Overall, the book was okay.
I understand your plight. If I wasn't science inclined, it would have been frustrating for me too to read this book. The author could have simplified some things, as you said. This would have made it easier for a lot of readers.

Glad to see another reader that rated this book four out of four stars too. The author is grounded in quantum physics and this is evident by how he clearly discussed them in this book. I enjoyed reading every bit of this book.

Some ideas are easier than others to understand and maybe someone who has a background in physics would be able to follow the ideas a bit better. Overall i found it a very intriguing story and loved how much it made me think outside my normal ideas and way of thinking. I highly recommend this book!
It will be significantly difficult for any reader who is not science inclined to fully enjoy this book, especially those who haven't read much on physics. I think that reading more science fiction will definitely help.

Making this into a story was a bad idea. I didn't like this book. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they are a science nerd.
I would generally recommend this book to those who love science fictions, especially those who are physics inclined. It is such a good book, but those who don't really know much in physics will find it frustrating.

I actually did enjoy reading this book and I would definitely recommend to those who love physics, time, matter and so much more. I did find the book very interesting and fun to know about.

I would rate this book a four out of four since I like physics and find it interesting. The plot and characters themselves were enjoyable for me, but the quantum physics lectures were right on target.

I'd give it a four out of five. The plot and characters were enjoyable, but the quantum physics lectures were overly complicated.

My rating of the book was 3 out of 5 stars. I think this book is was too detailed in the discussion of physics, especially for non-physicist. What i loved about the book was that it was closed to discussing quantum physic which i can relate to but it failed to do justice to my interest. I do not like the unnecessary details on physics as it did not do justice to the purpose of the book. I will recommend it to only physicist because its their field and can hopefully relate with its eccentric orientations.

I would have given it a perfect rating but because it had a part of physics that was difficult to understand, I would rate it something along the line of 4 out of 5 stars.

I really enjoyed the book and gave it a 3 out of 4 stars . Even though a lot of the physics discussions went over my head and I had trouble understanding Regina's monologues at times, I had a lot of fun reading it. I thought that Ron was an honest narrator, often talking about his own flaws, and had a great sense of humor. The other characters, particularly Louise, were well developed and served a purpose to either further the plot or help Ron grow as a charaters.

I rate the book 4 out of 5 stars. It lacks entertainment value and individuals who are not inclined towards science may struggle to fully appreciate its Physics aspect.
However, I thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between Ron and Regina and her efforts to make a positive impact on his life.
I would suggest this book to my scientifically inclined friends as it is the kind of book they would truly value.

I think the book was made for science enthusiasts, of which am not one, I guess that's why I didn't really enjoy the book. It's 3 out of 4. I doubt I'll be finishing it, but I can recommend it to some of my friends.

I give this book a 3 out of 4 stars. I was not particularly entertained by the storyline. Also, the scientific terms used for explanations went over my head most of the time, but overall, the writing style of the book was above average, that's for sure.
