I monstered through this book in a few days, no doubt helped by a patch of good weather. I became so engrossed in it at one point that I burned the tip of my nose while sitting in the garden, I hadn't noticed that the sun had shifted on to me.

This is, well, let me put it this way: Imagine someone wrote a Dan Brown book, but for nerds. Instead of hoary conspiracy theories and gibbering nonsense about religion, you had gibbering nonsense about scientific black boxes and lots of use of the word quantum.

Now keep imagining that, except with two differences:-

1: It is actually _good_.
2: It has a twist so spectacular and mind-bending as to make everything, no *anything* else forgivable.

That's this book. Maddening at times, unfollowable on occasion, but always, always I wanted to read just one more page, just one more chapter. When I came to the twist, I simply couldn't stop reading the book until the end.

I truly can't say any more about it. I'd be afraid of spoiling it, in a way which would undo someone else's enjoyment (perhaps, is anyone reading?)

This brilliant bonkers book... It isn't perfect, but then again, what is?
