Query: How scientific is this book ?

This book contains some fascinating theories that I didn't know yet, or had never looked at it that way. For instance the part about thermodynamics and the connection with information theory and probability theory I found very interesting,although it has little to do with consciousness.I have one serious problem with the book : Norretranders is not intellectually honest. He attempts too much to force his theory upon his readers, all the while oversimplifying, using suggestive language (the word `information' is used in different contexts, with different meanings and it doesn't become clear from reading the text), and avoiding problematic questions.The result is that the book is very tiresome to read, and its conclusions cannot be trusted.It raised some interesting points though, that's the reason why I 've continued reading.
