I guess for a review this is okay, but the book claims it can be read from cover to cover, but then fails to do so. I understood the concepts but only because I've learned them in another concept. If I tried to leaen physics from this book I would he hopelessly lost in the "simple" explanation. Just too much extraneous info for me. In summary: good quick review, bad organization and too much content.
