I didn't find it particularly entertaining, or well-written even in that respect. It felt quite dry to me. But I'm not exactly attuned to such topics in the first place. Some people seem to like it, this guy has his fans.
I picked this one up at the bookstore. I hadn't done any background checks, but it was cheap and I thought I'd read something I usually don't. Online I would have never bought it. I don't know his credentials, but this book is categorized as 'non-fiction'.
Talbot was also gay, as I found out on wikipedia.
I recently picked up a book in a charity shop. It was called 'A critical evaluation of relativity theory' or something like that. It was only 50p and I wanted something to read on the bus. I started reading it and it began to get a bit strange, so I looked up the author and it turns out he wasn't a physicist but a 'shaman'.
