He's done so much better.

I was so disappointed in the *MacGuffin* as Alfred Hitchcock called it. The big secret, that we wait the whole book to hear, was a real let-down. The da Vinci Code was SO much better.

Story
Before he was considered a CIA superagent, before he was thought of as a terrorist's worst nightmare, and before he was both loathed and admired by the politicians on Capitol Hill, Mitch Rapp was a gifted college athlete without a care in the world...and then tragedy struck.

An exciting, believable, introduction to Mitch Rapp.
I've seen some people complain about the narrator in this book. I don't understand that. The story is told in third person, but when first person voices are used, they are authentic sounding, and easy to distinguish. His characterization of Hurley is outstanding. I wasn't planning on seeing the movie, but now I can't wait to see how Michael Keaton handles the role.

Fascinating!

Wright immediately clarifies his choice of title. The book is not an evangelistic call to Buddhism.
The author's sense of humor and analogy, makes a possibly dry subject fascinating.
I enjoyed it.

Story
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There's no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson. But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.

A lot of Physics, an inch deep.

Maybe read this as your first book on astro/quantum physics.
I would have liked it better if he'd stayed out of politics & philosophy in the last chapter.

Story
In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.

Quantum Physics for *Dummies*

Brian Greene's use of analogy leaves me feeling like, for the first time, I have a loose understanding of quantum physics.
