Review of Entanglement - Quantum and Otherwise
[Following is a volunteer review of "Entanglement - Quantum and Otherwise" by John K Danenbarger.]
Entanglement - Quantum and Otherwise by John K Danenbarger is like a big, intricate puzzle made up of different pieces—the characters Beth, Joe, Kevin, Geena, and Martin. Each character has their own set of challenges to deal with. Beth is trying to make sense of her life after experiencing a loss. Joe, despite his disability, finds a newfound sense of hope and purpose through flying drones. Kevin is grappling with his past and seeking revenge. Geena is torn between meeting her family's expectations and pursuing her dreams. Meanwhile, Martin's interest in quantum physics adds another layer of complexity to the story. As the characters' lives unfold, they intersect and influence each other, illustrating how our choices ripple out and affect those around us. Throughout the narrative, the themes of loneliness, forgiveness, and the importance of human connections are explored deeply. But what sets this story apart is its use of quantum physics as a metaphor. It's not just about equations and formulas; it's a tool to delve into the deeper mysteries of existence and how everything in our lives is interconnected, much like particles in the quantum world.
What I like about this book is the way it explores the power of storytelling through the character of Joe. Joe and James have developed a deep friendship, with James expressing gratitude for Joe's friendship. Joe's storytelling helps James navigate his struggles and find comfort in their shared experiences. Additionally, Joe's storytelling provides James with inspiration and a sense of connection, as they both confide in each other and share their vulnerabilities. Truly unexpected connections can bring hope and inspiration even in our darkest moments. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
What I dislike about this book is the lack of depth in character development, particularly concerning characters like Martin and Ellen. While the novel provides glimpses into their work in quantum physics and its significance, it falls short of fully exploring their motivations, struggles, and personal sacrifices. A deeper dive into Martin's character would offer insight into how his scientific pursuits impact his personal life, while further development of Ellen's character would provide a nuanced understanding of her role in the scientific community and her interactions with others. Expanding on the backgrounds, aspirations, and challenges faced by these characters would enrich the narrative and offer a more profound exploration of the intersection between science and personal lives within the story.
I gave this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because the aspect of the book that I appreciate is its exploration of the power of storytelling through the character of Joe. The deep friendship between Joe and James, as well as the comfort and inspiration Joe's storytelling provides, adds depth to the narrative and highlights the importance of unexpected connections in finding hope and inspiration. However, I found a significant drawback in the lack of depth in character development, particularly with characters like Martin and Ellen. While the novel touches on their work in quantum physics, it fails to fully delve into their motivations, struggles, and personal sacrifices. A more comprehensive exploration of these characters would enrich the narrative and offer a deeper understanding of the intersection between science and personal lives within the story. I would recommend this book to those interested in themes related to friendship, personal growth, and the intersection between science and personality.
