An engaging read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It does a good job of educating the reader about some of the science around climate change and photovoltaics whilst at the same time being an engaging and at times comic, human story. Ian McEwan's sharp writing and the twists and turns in Michael Beard's highly complicated - and at times pretty excruciating - personal life make for a very good read.

A very entertaining tale

Threaded around the scientific and industrial green energy debate a brilliant and vain antivillian's story is told. Beautiful.
