I'd summarize this read as a non-mathematician's approach to applying mathematical thought to every subject imaginable (science and otherwise). I'd also say she reminded us that math is the simplest way to explain anything in the universe, and that truth is merely a probability that it isn't false.
As for beauty, well, she only touched upon symmetry in the second half of the last chapter. I would have liked more of that, but that would have required the book to be 400 pages instead of 200 (at least).

A book that probably didn't need to be written. It was an OK read, but I didn't find anything new that she had to say. And the chapter on Emmy Noether and Albert Einstein (the reason I bought the book in the first place) was bland and disappointing.
