A review by bupdaddy
The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano

5.0

Misfits have feelings too, and have a tough time expressing them often, and Giordano pulls that off extremely well. What is more regrettable than the missed chance?

An excellent, sad love story for the nerd generation.

OR:

It's a novel about how novels set people up for expectations that the real world doesn't meet. Chance coincidences are largely just that. People see patterns where none exist. It's all an illusion, and we're just as well off as we would have been if we'd taken the plunge.

I'm not sure which it is.
