A beautiful story of mathematics, baseball, and caring for others.
At times the mathematic equations and explanations can be a bit tedious, especially if you aren't following, not interested or have no idea what is what. Ultimately I came away with a little bit more knowledge on prime numbers and read up further on other formulas.
It's the storyline and characters that pull you into the book, where sometimes, you feel like it's something that happened in your Auntie's life.
