This one was beyond me. I enjoyed the writing in the moment most of the time, but for me it didn't hang together or go anywhere or in fact make sense. Very dreamlike, I guess, but there must be a huge disconnect between Einstein's dreams and mine. I did finish it, but I gave it away to one of my more mystical-minded friends - whose husband reminded her that she'd read it before. Forgetting that is not a good sign.
