I got about 50/60% of the way through this book but just couldn't connect to it. For one, I don't really like the concept of the story. I'd rather just someone present me the information in a interesting and entertaining lecture-like format. A lot of the story just seemed baggage and useless, but perhaps it all came together at the end? Also, I felt that the fact that in the story the concepts are being explained to a child made some of it a little too simplistic, as if the author was taking me as a dullard. I realise it's meant to be accessible but it just didn't spark any interest or curiosity in me.
