I may have done a good deal of skimming. I re-started the book last night, and I agree with you in finding the style dreadful.
But somehow I found the sections on how they view a 1-dimensional universe as revealing, and how a 3D universe appears to them in Flatland. Thus an extrapolation on why any higher dimensions than our own, are nearly impossible to understand.
