Nick Arnold has a wonderful way of making science interesting from a different view. The designs and cartoons are really good. I like it that you can dip in anywhere in the book without having to read from front cover to back. I especially enjoyed the prospectus style clips and the graphical subject titles that encouraged me to read that section. The front cover is fun and eyecatching I have all 8 (to date) Horrible Science books and eagerly await Nick's next book.
