Overall, I found this book funny and smart, and I definitely learned a few things. Some parts did drag on a bit for me, but that's not to say someone else wouldn't absolutely adore them. I do think the book was a little longer than it needed to be, though. I don't think it's accessible for just anyone, however. There are some things I only understood because I'd encountered the same or similar ideas in college math classes. If you're interested in math and/or how it relates to the world and how it really does matter, you should give this book a shot, even if you only read bits and pieces of it.
