I read it as a teen. I enjoyed it. Don't remember anything specific.

I read it as an adult.
I found it very condescending. There is a paragraph where Rabbi Waldman states something about how this book will satisfy everyone but people who are not looking to believe. His arguments are weak and not believable.
But if your target audience for the book is a believer who just wants to feel like they looked into proofs, then it would be fine.

I've read many contemporary books on this topic.The above is pretty much true about most of them no matter which side wrote them or which side they were written for.

I've read snippets and found them to be full of holes and very unconvincing. I haven't read the book in its entirety so perhaps some parts are better than the ones I read.

I read it as a teenager and it really gave me a strong emunah because of it. After I got married my DH told me he read it as a teenager and that's what kept him frum.
( I found the arguments very convincing, it's funny the above posters didn't)

I agree with that. I've stopped reading these books and have just put belief out of my mind. It doesn't matter if I believe anymore, I just do.

If you had solid proof, it would just be knowledge, not belief.
So you're doing good 👍🏻
