5.0 out of 5 stars Graphic entry into the cutting edge of gravity and cosmology, 7 Oct 2002
By A Customer
This is a very cool and an almost unique book in the genre of Relativity for the layman...I really enjoyed the way it demystified and exorcized many of my demons associated with curved spaces, time and extra dimensions using a very relaxed style and so many graphics. Definately recommended for people who want to stretch their imagination, though, be warned, it probably isn't the easiest read in the world!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 6 Dec 2002
By A Customer
Struggling to understand relativity and Einstein's theories this book was the best help I could get. It was explained in easy terms that anyone could understand...and you don't need to have a wealth of knowledge in the first place!
Well done for this excellent book

2.0 out of 5 stars Comical?, 3 May 2003
By Mr. David Edwards "gammacenturi" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
May be I've missed the point here but this book seems to be poor value for money. The presentation is in comic book form but perhaps for a lot of readers that is ideal. If you like your explanations in pictorial form this is for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps I'm just thick
I didn't like this book. I bought it in the hope that it would explain to me the basics if relativity, but found that each page left me more puzzled than the last. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Pathetic
A simply silly collection of kiddy drawings. Look elsewhere for genuine content.
