Bailed at page 241. I kept reading in the hopes that I'd "catch on". It's technically challenging ... by that I mean there are
advanced scientific theories and discussions that are definitely the main character. Everything reads flat and analytical. And I get why that is in some ways. Maybe I'll have a deep aha moment someday as I reflect on the plot. I kept getting mixed up by the characters. Probably a cultural blind spot about names 🙂. And perhaps I'll finish someday. I kept reading, thinking there has to be a giant understanding that crashes down on me if I just keep going. For now I'm done. I'm sure some will love this book. Maybe I will at some point. Who knows.
