In the science fiction novel Of Zots and Xoodles by Zarqnon the Embarrassed, the author explores how the world came into existence. The Big Bang, now known as the origin of the universe, was once thought to have been the result of a minuscule explosion of matter, energy, and space. The cosmos rapidly expanded after the Big Bang.

On Tuesday, after breakfast, Theodil created his universe. As he begins, there are a lot of people in the audience, and the committee looks at him in surprise. He rolls something, and "dots" that are like "spots" appear. The spots were called "zots" by the audience. They discovered that "zots" had no north or south, east or west, or up or down. Theodil causes the zots to spin, twirl, and churn above his palm. It collides, resulting in the formation of super-zots, mega-zots, magma-zots, and other zot designs. The "zots" have evolved into "noodles," and they called them "xoodles."

The author conducted extensive research before explaining the idea of the earth's creation. The book has tidbits of scientific theory throughout. He also added humor to his work to break up the monotony of seriousness. The book is lyrically written and includes examples of what Theodil is arguing for. Even though some of the demonstrations are intricate, they attempt to illustrate Theodil's task.

The author's use of diagrams to clarify difficult scientific ideas was what caught my attention the most in this book. Since the book covers quantum physics principles, the author chose to illustrate the ideas using diagrams. Readers will be able to understand the complicated topics because of the diagrams, which made the book enjoyable. The explanations of how the universe was created were equally interesting to me. The author described how Zots evolved into Xoodles in order to demonstrate how Theodil created his universe step by step.

Even though I like the book, the length of some of the words puts me off. If not done correctly, reading might lead one to quickly lose their bearings. Zarqnon made it that way since he has stated that he dislikes performing tasks in a proper manner. The author's writing was excellent, and the book was thoroughly edited.

I give this book a 5 out of 5 star rating since there were no typos or grammatical issues I could spot, and no profanity or sexual content as well. I recommend it to students, instructors, readers of quality literature, and everyone who appreciates thinking outside the box.
