review 1: Daniel Tammet is an extraordinary writer, he brings such a beautiful wordplay to describing his love of numbers. Thus, he makes numbers feel very real and human. His topics are very broad and brief. He gives only a taste of the ways math touches every facet of life, sometimes with quite tenuous connections in some areas. None the less, it's a very fast book to read, and the writing style makes it very enjoyable. I questioned some of the math and history halfway through, but even if Tammet's facts aren't fully researched or well-explored, the book is pleasant to read.
review 2: I find it a very pleasant writing on maths. I love the essays on the cataract of time, mortality statistics and the art of maths. There are also several interesting things about numbers t... morehat I didn't know of such as the counting in different countries and tribes. The final essay 'The art of maths' is just a nice way to conclude the book. "Thinking in number" is another book that reminds us how beautiful mathematics is. less
