The book is generally about a man who can see what can happen in the future, but in fact, it's more complicated! I suggest you this fascinating book!”

Needs a sequel and a movie.”
“i enjoyed the book as much for the lessons i learned then the actual storyline. the plot and characters were okay but the way that some concepts were discussed within the story, like probability and laplace's demon, were what really got me. the explanations were better than those found in textbooks. the action scenes were better than i expected for i bought the book more for the concept of probability than wanting to read a good action book. Fawer would probably make a good teacher. the idea of laplace's demon is certainly very intriguing. ”

Yes | No“This book is very interesting...because it starts off really bad and just gets better and better and better. The ending is really like putting one big puzzle together. Kinda hard to follow, in my opinion....but definitely worth reading.
Not the kind of book to give up on.”
