"The target audience: anyone who enjoys gaping at the complexities of existence. The topic: everything . . . Fantastic."--Entertainment Weekly (grade: A)
"Michael Frayn's exultant prose entices and ultimately overwhelms you. Reading his arguments, I felt as though I were floating down a warm river, caught up in its playful, whirling eddies. . . . Beautifully written."--Los Angeles Times
"Immense erudition . . . and more than a dash of wit . . . What makes The Human Touch so rewarding is the subtlety and humor with which he examines 'the great mutual balancing act.'"--The New York Times
"His command of current scholarship in physics and biology is impressive; his discussion of psychological issues is discerning. . . . Witty and ingratiating style."--The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"An inviting introduction to modern cosmology and philosophy with no prerequisites other than the willingness to entertain counterfactuals, imponderables, and leaps of faith. Nicely done."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Absolutely riveting . . . Read it, and you may come to look at the world differently."--Newsday
"Erudite, imaginative, funny, and dazzlingly clever . . . [Frayn] unbolts, chapter by chapter, the fabric of the universe."--The Sunday Times (London)
