[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great science book that explains a lot of scientific theory in consise bulletpoints and has great illustrations to help elucidate the concepts. I learned the most in the biology section as that is something I've never studied, but I thoroughly enjoyed each section and topic.

Loved the format—well organized and full of images that make everything much easier to understand. It’s very well put together, with just the right amount of information to learn the basics or refresh your memory. It feels like a much more detailed summary of everything learned in school.

A high school refresher in science.

It contains a lot of information. It is a good start- and very well organized and depicted.

I wonder if I am the only one who caught the error regarding the number of petals the flower has.

Quite interesting, however a bit difficult to read due to the color of the pages.
