Firstly, this is worth reading. The science parts are (contrary to some of the more negative reviews) presented fairly, highlighting where the authors preferred theory differs from the current orthodox theory.
The Discworld story intertwined with the science does its job, but isn't Terry's finest work. It feels disjointed, with the science parts requiring more careful reading than Terry's story. Due to this, the science parts seem to continue for longer than the story, and the balance seems to be 66% science and 33% story. I fear that the blame for any disappointment may unfairly fall on Terry's co-authors, when actually I feel that a bit more effort on the story side may have raised this to a different level. I enjoyed this book, but a more substantial story would have made this a 4 or 5 star read.
