Definitely wasn't a book for me

1 star

It took so many tries for me to read this book. If I was more comfortable with geometry and the mathematics in general, I'd probably enjoy it more. But math and some of the concepts are difficult enough for me as it is without throwing an archaic writing style in the mix.

I tried one last time to get through it and found it difficult. Now, what the author was trying to accomplish, I can respect because it's definitely different. But I just couldn't get myself into it. However, if there's anybody out there really good at math or has a lot of time to spend playing with the concepts, it may be worth the read. I forgot who recommended this to me, but they must've forgotten my difficulty with math when they did.
