Didn't realize I needed to understand non-euclidean geometry to get an idea of the topology of Hell. I spent half an hour browsing StackExchange to figure out if she means Minkowski space instead.
I think you need a degree in mathematics, philosophy, literature, Latin/Greek and theology to make sense of all the references in this book. Does the author want to prove she's smart? If so, I am pretty annoyed already.
