OK, it's been a while since I've read this book, but I remember almost feeling tingles when I heard about it...I too, have thought that physics is the meaning of life, and I ADORE any considerate mediation on relationships, but alas this book was horrible. It may have been a huge letdown because I was looking forward to it so much as I LOVED "The Passion" and "Written on the Body". I found this book to be entirely tooooo tangental and poetic words leading into boxed up nothings.
