Review text

The authors geometrize the similarity classes of the Euclidean star- shaped pentagons in an appropriate parameter space. Roughly speaking: the geometric structure is a hyperbolic right angle pentagon bundle over the space of external angle sets of the inscribed pentagons. In the first moment the subject seems to be very artificial, although the work is motivated by an unpublished preprint of \textit{W. P. Thurston} [Shapes of polyhedra 1987].
