The material in this book was very interesting, and was best conveyed to me through the analogies and jazz references. Most of the equations lost me, but even without a background in physics or music theory I still greatly enjoyed reading this

Incredible, the movie did a disservice to Anna

SarahBookInterrupted I completely agree. It felt a little like victim blaming especially adding the gun. 8mo

3 1/2 out of five. I enjoyed this book very much when I was younger, and after reading it again as an adult I still enjoyed it, but not as much as before.
