3.0
This book was exhausting. I liked it. I like math and I'm good at it and though I was never someone who was into competing in Math (I dropped out of Math competitions in elementary school because I didn't like it), it was certainly interesting to read about. There was also more of a focus on what makes a genius a genius, and how math is taught in the US compared to other countries. I have a genius-level IQ and I have been taught math in both the US and Germany. I would assume it is because Germany is in western Europe, but I didn't really notice that much of a difference, except that in one of my math classes in 10th grade, we were learning the geometry that I had been taught in 6th grade -- a normal 6th grade honors math class at a normal public elementary school. I don't know. In any case, I did find the book interesting, but it certainly wasn't an easy read.
