Reader enjoys my book

A K Haart of the UK reviews my book:
I've had to do something we all find uncomfortable, I've had to change my mind because I've just finished reading a book by Roger Schlafly called How Einstein Ruined Physics. ...

If you are interested in the history of science, especially physics and are comfortable in going against the consensus, then this is the book for you. ...

The main theme of the book is how the progress of physics has given way to a great deal of empty speculation with little or no experimental confirmation. String theory for example. Much of the blame is laid at Einstein's door, ...

I enjoyed it and I'm pleased to have read it. Worth every penny.
