If you liked Entropy by , this review is not for you.
Entropy is the kind of book you want to read, probably should read, but when you do read, you have NO idea what is going on. Yet, since you want to be “part of the cool crowd” you will say how wonderful and marvelous it is. I am not ashamed to say, “I do not get it.”
Actually, let me backtrack, I understand the different creation myths are being spoken about and how they come into the need for man to understand “where he came from” but it all gets twisted together and (which is probably the point) nothing is answered. I do not know what was trying to say. Was he saying that the existence of man are lies? Not important? Was he saying that we will always wander? It was not until the end of the book and reading the back-cover description that an important plot point came into play on the wandering theme.
Then there are the illustrations which are bland and crude. There is no color and it is hard to figure out who is speaking and why the “blankness” of their features is important. And the cover also has an important plot point that was easy to miss. Perhaps breaking it up into smaller chapters or naming the chapters that are there might put the point the author wants across more easily.
This is the type of book the book trolls will be saying “Oh My God! How can you NOT get it? It’s so simple!” Without knowing what it means either, they are just afraid of seeming “foolish” and “uneducated.” , please contact me so we can talk about it. Because I am willing to try and understand, but sorry, you missed the boat for me on this one.
