I'm half way through this book and I'm not finding it as interesting as I expected. I would like to hear the views of anyone else who has read it. I'm not particularly interested in what you thought about what he says but rather how he got it across in the book.

I actually found it very interesting. Some of the subject matter is, by its very nature, quite complicated, and it is a balancing act to get the point across without dipping too far into 'popular science'. On the whole, I think he did the best he could to get it across to as broad an audience as possible without compromising on the integrity of the content.

I'm sort of slowly wading my way through it.
My difficulty with much of it so far is that - like the Bible - the quotes and snippets of others are very much open to the interpretation one chooses to place upon them. It's impossible to say with real certainty what Einstein's view on God was with 100% accuracy because he isn't here to clear up any misconceptions we may or may not have. To take just one example.

Jack enjoyed it but can't give a detailed reply because he lent his copy to a local priest and hasn't had it returned yet.
