When I see that a books has been rewarded by various book entities, and has predominantly high ratings, I always feel like I'm missing something when I don't care foe a book. But at the end of the day, I just didn't "get" this one.
The book covers several real life prominent scientists and mathematicians, and adds fictional elements to tell about them and their discoveries. I just didn't see the point and didn't find the stories intriguing enough to be interested in them.
The book is quite short, so I didn't feel bad about investing a little bit of time in it, but can't recommend it. It's well written, but not something that interested me.
