This was not an easy book to read. I’ve read som astrophysics before, but this was on a complete other level. It’s interesting and sometimes captivating, but Krauss lacks some of Dawkins ability to explain so that everyone will understand. And it’s understandable, Dawkins has been writing books and teaching evolution for decades. Krauss clearly knows what he talks about and wants us to understand and does a decent job doing that.
I probably have to read this book again since there was so much to take in and rather complex too. And it’s a book that should be read slowly while trying to absorb the mass of information. The reason I mentioned Dawkins is that Dawkins wrote the afterword.
