I loved this book, the author says, "I believe in God, it's been a real problem for me." That sums up my relationship with the transcendent. I laughed at this book all the while understanding that I had a kindred spirit in my quest for understanding the cosmos. Some would not appreciate the author's humor, but he was real. This is not a book for a fundamental person to read, unless they are ready to jettison their current believe system. I read this book in a week, it was a good read.
