Of course you can't really count my opinion as I did buy a series of James Bond novels just because I liked the retro cover art. I've read a couple reviews and a handful of blurbs about this book, and now my curiosity is definitely piqued.

Ha ha, So true! Glad I did though, cracking read. Maybe it is because I am interested in theoretical physics and the other topics they discussed, but I thought they were a great and added a dimension to the book which I haven't really had before.
