Once Before Time: A Whole Story of the Universe by Martin Bojowald
informative
reflective
slow-paced
3.75
While deeply informative, this book often takes too long to make a point and isn’t as much a casual read as it wants to be. As someone who really enjoys reading about quantum physics, I found this book challenging, though again, at parts, deeply insightful and fascinating.

I have read everything Carlo Rovelli has written, and yet every time I pick up a new book of his I’m stunned by the beauty, passion, intelligence, and simplicity of his writing. If you’re considering this book at all, read it.
