This is a very good book for somebody, just not for me. It is well written and Hooper conveys enthusiasm. But I was hoping for an up-to-date book that focused exclusively on dark matter and dark energy. Instead most of this book is devoted to necessarily superficial pop science review of general relativity, quantum mechanics, supersymmetry, string theory, and cosmology. As a result there wasn't much that was new to me. Although I did learn one interesting new fact: Ladbrokes was taking bets on the discovery of the Higgs Boson by 2010, putting the odds at six-to-one. If only there was an Intrade market.

Any book with a subsection called "The Second Coming of the Trichromatic Monkeys" is bound to be good. And this book was no disappointment. After reading a number of evolution books over a long period it was exciting to read a completely new set of ideas and evidence based on actual gene sequences. The focus on opsins and color vision was a useful antidote to some of the "just so" stories you occasionally read in evolution books. I could have done without the chapter on why intelligent design is wrong, it seems like a waste of a good scientists time to bother to write about this topic.
