And it’s not because I don’t understand evolution, but maybe it’s because I am a biologist and do understand evolution. The new age take on nature present throughout the book really grated on me. Robbins knows how to write, and his mastery of pacing the story was impressive. The elements built well on each other, but it was all caked in rambling, pseudo-science. Maybe this wasn’t the best book to read as an introduction to his work.
