This book focuses on frequency—its effects on human hearing, as well as a variety of unexpected phenomena. I wasn't sure what to expect from a book on such a specific subject. It turned out to be fascinating and highly entertaining. It's informative and easy for laypeople to understand.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

This book was heavy at parts and boring at others. I had high hopes for this book and unfortunately, it did not live up.

3/5 stars

An interesting take on the world of science and fields that can be studied with science by using the subject of frequency as a starting point. This could be structural engineering, strength of materials, music, and the universe itself. It gets a bit slow in the middle as the novelty wears off, but it gets going again and finishes strong. I enjoyed it and learned a few things along the way.
