This book was very focussed on theoretical quantum physics rather than practical quantum physics which I would have preferred.

I give it a 3 out of 4 stars rating. I reduced one star because it wasn't an actual page turner for me as I thought before. I couldn't understand many things that the author tried to convey.

From what I understand this book is more speculative quantum physics than practical quantum physics...either way, I don’t think my understanding of the topic is enough for me to thoroughly enjoy this book as it is meant to be enjoyed.

I rate it 3 out of 4 stars. I love the concepts introduced by the writer on quantum physics. The book was intriguing. However, the writer should have used a simpler language to explain the concepts.

Two stars, I found the book to be very detailed and such, but it just couldn't hold my attention very well. I did however think that the concept itself was very interesting!

I am not interested in the study of physics, but feel connected to Ron and wonder what Regina and chess have in store for him.

Overall, I gave the book 3 out of 4 stars. I felt that the scientific concepts were a bit too much and that made the story seem too far-fetched to me. I still liked Ron and his story so I still enjoyed the novel, but at times it was just hard for me to pay attention and not want to skim through the scientific information.

I would give it a 3 out of 4 stars. Although I enjoy science based books, physics is not my friend, and I struggled occasionally to follow that side which hindered my enjoyment a bit. What I really liked were the strong female characters in top scientific positions. I would recommend this to readers who can see past the math to the story within.

I'll rate it 4 out of 4 stars because the characters were very relatable and the plot is also easy to follow through. Since it explores some physics theories, that was interesting for me.

I'm currently reading this book, most of the way through, and finding that it's going to be challenging to rate. While I keep turning pages, a lot of it is just not comprehensible to me, and the storyline has felt very disjointed. It's taken more than half the book to even begin to build the tension of the story (and even that has been a small build-up).
That said, I think the author is doing a great job with writing, I would read more by him, depending on the plot.

I would rate this book 3 out of 4 stars merely because I don't presume it is easy to write a factual fiction novel and it seems the author is quite intelligent in his area of profession. Plus the editing in the book was superb. However, I on the other hand am not familiar with quantum physics and mechanics in such detail, so its safe to say I would skeem through such information.

I gave this book at three out of four. It was very well written, but I was not able to understand some of the most complex parts of this book. I believe that this would be a joy for anyone that understands the topics to read.

This was overall a great book, but I just wish that the author kept in mind that not all of his readers had already learned about these advanced topics. I believe that this book deserves an overall rating of 3/4.

I rated this book 4 out of 4 stars. It's because I loved how the author managed to balance science and social life of the characters. I loved most the author's sense of humor, and there's nothing I disliked about it. I recommend it to science lovers. There're amazing nuggets to pick from the book
