Amazing

State of Wonder really leaves you in a state of wonder. This book makes you take a hard look at ethics and morals regarding science and relationships. It also makes you question how we perceive each other and how that perception can differ greatly from the truth. This is one of the best books I?ve read in a while. Even if you?re not interested in science or the Amazon I am sure you will enjoy it too.

lots of excess verbiage

This book is well written but in parts goes on and on and the relationships are confusing.
