   It’s great to read about the synthesis of science and humanism. But the book felt like a compilation of essays. Not a smooth read.

   A fascinating look at Gould’s work, but sometimes felt a bit too academic. Still, a worthwhile read for anyone interested in science and its intersection with humanity.

   A slightly above average book. It is about Gould’s work only. There is little about Gould’s personal life.

    I expected a biographical account of Gould. The book only talks about his work. Little bit disappointed.

    An interesting exploration, but I struggled to connect with the author’s perspective at times. It felt a bit dry and could have used more personal anecdotes.
