Here's just a little of what this reader wrote:

Last week I read this book "The Book of Numbers" by Peter J. Bentley.It is an extraordinary book written in a very lucid way. Even a layman can understand the intricacies of the complicated theories of the numbers. The book explains all the important numbers ranging from π, e.. to PHI . There origin, discoverer, and the related stories.

...

It has numerous fascinating stories about Scientists and there discoveries.You must read the book and satisfaction is Guaranteed :)

Review: The Undercover Scientist, by Peter J. Bentley

PRAY you never have a day as hellish as this. Within 16 hours, the hero of this book gets a computer virus, squirts raw chilli juice in his eye and breaks his toe, little finger and front tooth, among other mishaps. The consolation for us is that every calamity illustrates more science, such as why milk goes putrid, or why diesel ruins petrol cars. None of the science is groundbreaking - everyday wonders get preference - but it makes for novel reading. It's stream-of- consciousness science, as if Leopold Bloom from James Joyce's Ulysses was a clumsy but observant engineer.

Anyway this reader was almost a little over-the-top with the praise. It's much appreciated as ever:

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I marvel at the author's concept for the chapters. The level of writing is extraordinary. The illustrations, photos, etc are first rate. I particularly enjoyed the historical aspect. You should consider entering the book into whatever competition(s) for which it qualifies.
