This stange little book exists simultaneously on scientifc, theological, social, mental, emotional and psychological levels. It is very nearly sureal in its playground of time. Alan Lightman has succeeding in creating a unique world, which happens to be set in the landscape of Einsteins mind. The chronology can be jumbeld to create different effects and the idea of time as you read becomes a factor, as each chapter heading is a date. Have you been reading for an hour or for 11 days? There is just not enough to say about this book. The closest thing I can relate it to is Lao-Tzus Tao-te-Jing and Gabriel Garcia Marquez 100 years of solitude. This book is one wild trip.http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0446670111/customer-reviews/ref=cm_rev_all_1/002-9324367-2643249
