Had I not been gifted this book, it's very unlikely that I would've read this book (my reading mostly lies in social sciences/business/self-improvement and fiction). That said, it was intriguing and well-structured -- the flow throughout each chapter is particularly impressive. If you're interested in math, especially geometry, or physics, I think you would enjoy this book, but for me, I occasionally found myself reading for the sake of finishing the book.

It just wasn't quite as interesting for a layman as I was hoping - It's possible that it went over my head, but I never really had a "aha" moment where the book changed my perspective on the world.

Still though, a solid book and I'd recommend for math enthusiasts.
