I wasn't sure whether this book would resonate with me, but once I got to listening, I got hooked. This book is heavy on physics talk that I don't have a deep learning or understanding of. I found it fascinating, but I can see how some would find it boring.

I listened to the audiobook, which I think helped me. The narrator was fantastic in reading the different characters which helped me keep them straight, more of a challenge with Chinese names that are not as familiar to me.

I found the story illustrates well our natural fears and prejudices. Some of our instincts prove true and some we find are not bound in truth. Will I read this again? I don't think so, but this was a fun, mind bending run.
