Meh. So meh I might even downgrade to two stars (edit: I did). I mean there are some interesting things explained, but I don’t feel like Greene got anywhere close to the grand theory of physics and art he clearly wants to find. He’s just not an art guy, and that’s all I get from his attempts to explore it. There are many other books I would recommend reading about the topics he touches on, except maybe the physics. Greene knows how to explain physics. He doesn’t know how to explain the other disciplines explored here. So for now I would say, skip this book, read his other books, and read the books of the people he cites, who do a better job of explaining the ideas in their own areas of expertise.
