Interesting and Engaging
This book provides an interesting and easy to read introduction to the core ideas underlying our understanding of quantum mechanics. It’s a good, easily digestible overview–which is also its weakness. Quantum theory and mechanics are so complex and counter-intuitive that it’s kind of frustrating to get a simple overview without the necessary depth to demonstrate how these complex and counter-intuitive concepts and properties are explored, demonstrated, and tested. It’s like getting a very small taste of something without being able to enjoy it as a meal. So, 4 out of 5 stars.

Breaking down Quantum Physics
This book breaks down the fundamentals of Quantum physics to the basics allowing the beginner to learn easily. I was easily picking up what the author was putting down. Makes me want to go watch Antman again! Matter of fact I’ll do just that! A great read that was fun learning experience for me and my kids.

Tough and thought provoking
I've always been curious about quantum physics and i love it when its in scifi books or shows but have never really understood it. I appreciate this authors edible chapters that provide a good foundation for the subject. Still a challenging read especially since im so far from school years but i appreciate having this in my library to come back to.

Helped this scifi reader
I love the science behind science fiction and this book helped me understand it better. I knew some basics behind the theories and how it related to my favorite scifi TV shows, movies, and novels. This helped me understand things better.
