rated 6/10: read to pass the time
An enjoyable book, not as light as it first appears to be. Not quite :-)
The central characters are pure mathematicians. Likeable stereotypes. With backgrounds that add some depth and interest to the stock characters.
Lots of humour, based round the character stereotypes. Enjoyable.
Then the plot heats up. A bit more action, a bit less humour.
Until the romance kicks into high gear. And by romance I mean, love and sex. The chick lit also kicks into high gear... with a hero who is so absolutely -- unbelievably -- perfect.
And finally: an ending which is both somewhat unexpected yet logically obvious.
It's fun and funny, lightweight, cheerful and just a bit sad.
Easy reading. Good fun.
