Flotte Geschichte, manchmal etwas zu viel aufgetragen aber dann doch immer wieder zurück auf den Boden der Tatsachen. Besonders spannend fand ich die Ausflüge in die verschiedenen Wissenschaften.

Ich fand das Buch unglaublich spannend, es hat mich sofort in seinen bann gezogen und ich konnte es auch kaum aus der Hand legen. An manchen Stellen ist es etwas konstruiert, aber das sieht man der Geschichte dann doch nach, sie hat so viel anderes zu bieten und rast mit einer unglaublichen Geschwindigkeit dahin.
