Great Idea

I haven't read this book, nor do I plan to. (Although I might give it a skim should I come across it in a library or bookstore by accident.) Even so, I give this book five stars...not because of its content, which probably is superficial, repetitive, and banal, as mentioned elsewhere...but because of the power of the concept, which comes through loud and clear even just from the book summary. I give credit to the author for a great idea for a book, even if he himself was not up to the task of its realization. Without a doubt, future authors will at least see the title, and become inspired themselves to produce more convincing works expanding on the concept of placing humankind's journey in the context of the history of the universe.
