<p>I enjoyed this book a lot. It's slow moving at times with the author taking
|
|
|
|
|
his time with conversations and descriptions of them. The premise is very
|
|
|
|
|
interesting, but I'm sad that it wasn't elaborated more deeply - e.g. the
|
|
|
|
|
history and development of the clakker technology with Huygens and how
|
|
|
|
|
Spinoza comes into the picture. Maybe the author saves it for the next
|
|
|
|
|
two parts of the book.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Language can be intimidating at first for non-native english speakers
|
|
|
|
|
- author uses wide range of vocabulary. Fortunately it gets better after
|
|
|
|
|
a while as reader adjusts.</p>
