Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. It took me a long time to read this book-too long.Although the storyline was good,it was confusing at times. The characters were good,but there were too many and they weren't developed enough. The physics only added to the confusion for me-my fault-I should have paid more attention in class. I felt at times there were inside jokes that only physicists would understand.However, I liked the ending,it's just that getting there was difficult. Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. I only managed to make it through the first hundred pages or so of this book. I'm sure there are some good ideas buried in the text, but it could stand a heavy dose of editing to trim it down. Insightful, fresh take on 2012. This is a big book - over 600 pages and I wished it were even longer. This author writes well, his characters are well developed, and the story is engaging. If you're interested in 2012 and the Mayan calendar and the umpteem prophecies that are swirling around and the crazy ways that people react and will be reacting to the stresses of this upcoming "end time", then you'll really appreciate this novel and the fresh approach. There is a lot of 2012 stuff out there - I know - I've read lots of it and will read more. PW2 is at the top of my list so far to recommend - the author combines great science info, insights into human nature, imaginative humor, and an eye for bizarre possibilities into a riveting novel with compelling plotlines. I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. Also enjoyed the many characters and the situations they find themselves in as weird happenings start and keep happening on certain days, as part of a countdown and a race to explain what a probability theory is all about. Thank goodness the ending is an amazing surprise. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

It took me a long time to read this book - too long. The storyline is good,. The characters are good. The scientific equations and technicality was a little overwheaming and only added to my confusion at times. I must say, I had to skim most of that and take it with a grain of salt. I think the author could have got the point accross without so much in-depth and tchnical detail.
But all in all the book was good. I liked how he brought deffirent theories of 2012 together. For the most part I recommend this book, just be prepaired to wonder through a lot of technical wordiness. ( )
