Stella Maris

I consider myself to be a rather intelligent person. I am an engineer by trade and have taken multiple mathematics and physics courses. For the life of me, I couldn't follow any of the mathematics information presented for around half of this book. Unless the vast majority of readers of this book are some kind of advanced mathematical experts, I don't understand why you would give this book glowing 5-star reviews. How can you be so high on something when you literally can't understand the majority of the information being presented? I get it's Cormac Mccarthy and he's supposed to be some type of literary God, but this, along with The Passenger, comes off as some grand mathematics vanity novels. I don't care how “beautiful the prose is” or whatever. If you can't follow what's being discussed, how do you find it entertaining?
