Woit was interviewed on public radio and I enjoyed his perspective on theoretical physics so I picked up this book. The first half is an utterly dry summary of the past 40 years in physics, and while I suppose Woit is being respectful to the people behind the science the book isn't interesting or coherent. I didn't finish the second half.
The debate over resolving the conflicts between string theory and the theory of relativity is not nearly as interesting as it first sounds.
