review 1: It's more "the language of famous people and myself" than the language of God. Doesn't really address much of the topic, but is more about anecdotes from Wouk's life as related to it; talking to Feymann about research for a book, trying to write one for Neil Armstrong, how one of his books was pirated in China and somewhat links it to Confucianism. There's no sustained argument on the subject as opposed to anecdotes. It's not bad otherwise, if you look at it as such. But the title suggests a discourse on something else entirely, and I don't think people will be satisfied if that's the topic you are looking for.
review 2: This book was a bit of a disappointment. Apparently the author is a novelist of some renown, not really a scientist. The narrative was mostl... morey all over the place and rarely touched on the intersection of science and religion. He described scientific advances through history and talked about his own novels and Jewish faith but the phrase "science and religion" implies more than two separate discourses.If you are interested in this book, I would suggest skipping to the end where he recounts his conversation about religion with Feynman. It was the only part that really delivered on what I was expecting. less
