I was probably under some sort of misguided illusion as to what I thought this book would be like. I was hoping for something more along the lines of quantum physics for the layperson rather than quantum physics for beginners. As such, portions of this book were well over my head as I was reading, and I was trying to understand portions of it. That's not to say that I didn't learn stuff by reading this book, and I did go away with a better understanding of quantum physics and some of its theories as a result of reading this book.
That being said, I think this book was also trying to find it's place as to what it wanted to be. Portions of this book did seem to try to explain some things to the lay person, or at least, there were portions of it that I was able to understand while reading it. Other portions of this seemed to be almost like cliff notes for studying for a test, and had some aspects of what I would seek out if was trying for an abbreviated study guide prior to taking a science test. Other parts of the book seemed like it was trying to give an abbreviated but still very scientific description of the world of physics and was similar to what i would expect from a very dry text book to be.
