informative slow-paced

2.0

This book was truly full of interesting information on an exciting time in science, and the author is vey knowledgeable - however, that being said, it was a bit TOO full...it dragged on and on for ages and felt at times like reading a text book. I kept counting the pages until I could be finished, which is never the experience I want while reading, so while informative, I wasn't enjoying it. I do think the material is good, and might make for a good shorter essays or a podcast, but it needed to be edited for the general public.
