This book is a collection of articles on various physics phenomena, ranging from astrophysics to quantum mechanics, from particle physics to speculations on hypothesis about yet unexplained mysteries.

Oh man, I wanted to like that book more, I really did. I enjoyed reading it, it’s very interesting and I also learned quite a lot, but unfortunately I have a few issues with it. First, I think the idea to give almost every article the same amount of space (3 pages + a cartoon) is quite dubious. Not all phenomena described in this book are equally difficult to understand, so the easier ones get a lot more attention to detail than the more difficult ones. Second, as the articles often have overlapping themes, there are some repetitions (sometimes exactly identical), which is quite tedious. Furthermore, there are some errors (false names, numbers or wrong sentence structures) and unfortunately it’s noticeable (even for me, who has learned English as a third language) that the book was not written by native English speakers.

As a last, maybe a bit pedantic point, I have to ask: why add a female comic character and only use her for two or three quite lame jokes?

I thought this book was going to be easier to understand, but I had fun reading it anyway and I got to understand physics a little bit more. This book made me understand the importance of understanding physics and now i just want to read more books about physics.
