Casalderrey gets off to a promising start. The first half of the first chapter is a bright mixture of story telling, art-history and mathematics. But he very quickly runs out of ideas.
The rest of the book is filled with odd details and laborious explanations about specific works of art. Accompanied by heavy amounts of mathematics - naturally. But be warned that much of it will pass one by if they don't know their Euclidean geometry from their Cartesian, their calculus and algebraic derivations.
All of this is in a style that comes across like it is a lecture series. One that would be entertaining if I were a student in a classroom watching an enthusiastic professor. Alas, I am not - I'm an old man, with a book, and feeling rather infuriated.
