May 1, 2009

By Art, The United States

"More of an overview than an in-depth discussion of theoretical physics and string theory. This book endeavors to pave a way towards the thought that string theory is the culmination of hundreds of years of scientific exploration but it reads more like a history lesson. It suffers from a lack of a binding principle or a strong thesis. It is useful as an introductory read, but it suffers from a lack of punch."

By Melissa, The United States

"This is the book that made me understand the theories of relativity and super strings. It has some pretty hard core scientific concepts and is not a casual read. Even though it is a pretty small book, it took me a while to get through it."
