a good book but would have liked him to dive deeper and continue. Some concepts, although explained sufficiently, seem to end abruptly. Perhaps there is a sequel

This is an enjoyable take on quantum theory. It delves into the history of science and physics, up to the current and constantly evolving theory of quantum gravity. I won't confess to understand it all, but found it to be pretty approachable, given the circumstances.

Too Italian at times

4,5 stars.

This was fantastic. With everything from Ancient Greece to quantum gravity, it was quite a fun journey. It exceeded all my expectations, and I definitely think that more people should read this. My only issue was the fact that it became a bit confusing and unclear towards the second half of the book. It was fine enough to understand after a while, but it wasn’t explained “easily” enough, as it should been, with him saying that this is both marketed at those who know more about physics and those who are new to the subject.

It was so annoying to read. Lots of irrelevant information and a poor job in explaining the little information contained.

One of the best explanations of quantum physics I've read. Just sublimely good. Not a simplistic explanation, or a dumbed-down narrative, but a great book overall - with the right "challenging read" aspect to it. And a rewarding read, too.
