See, for a physics book I would definitely be at attention reading your review because I incline that way to begin with. :-) I might not have anything to say about the review, though, if I hadn't read the book (and beyond that, I'm not a physicist anyway). The mystery was just an example, but yeah.

Most of what I get from talking to a romance writer of my acquaintance is that the genre is even more alien than I realize, and if I read more of it I would see just how alien the conventions are to me (note: not wrong, just different), but she says it would be very rare for me to enjoy a romance, and from my limited explorations in the area, I tend to concur. If someone wrote a math-based romance [1], I would totally be there, but I am cognizant that this would be such a tiny potential audience that it would largely not be worth anyone's while to write. ^_^

[1] I tried once, but failed miserably. It was an experiment back in college. ^_^
