Stick with it, worth finishing

Finished in 2 days. Pretty interesting, reminded me I have it pretty good in my job flexibility. It's more geared for introverts and hermits who want to start a business, but is useful to anyone in a corporate job.

I recommend sticking with it to the end. The dark matter/dark energy chapters are fascinating - could have expanded that to the whole book and I would have been happy. Otherwise, it's definitely not for the total science novice but I had enough physics and chemistry background to grasp most of the concepts. Really interesting but I know I won't remember most of it.

Poor Noah.

I rated it before I finished it and I'm taking a star back because of the ending. Worth reading but it eventually just gets too literal which cheapens all the lead-up. Read it for the creep factor but be prepared for some weird turns and disappointing choices.
