Seems like a promising read :) thanks for the recco Master :)
I've only read a few chapters myself this far; but I thought that you're a HP-fan so might be worth a try.
According to the intro, if you don't like it by chapter 10 you might as well quit, because the rest is in essence just more of the same. (it's over 3000 pages in total)
Hmm, will selectively pick then :) Hp is always a paradise :)
It's amusing. I've read about 25 chapters by now, and they're of a bit varying quality, but worth reading, perhaps especially for people who are BOTH fans of Harry Potter AND interested in science and the scientific method. I think I'd have enjoyed it less if I hadn't already known a fair bit about science.
I'm done reading it now. Ended up liking it more than I did after the first 25 chapters. It's a pretty amazing book overall, despite flaws.
Ah glad to know you enjoyed. I read some 10+ chapters and despite being familiar with topics like you've mentioned, the book couldn't hold my interest for long :(
