The Laws of Thermodynamics: A Very Short Introduction by Peter Atkins

4.0

Atkins wrote the bible of physical chemistry, which was my companion through undergrad. He is a legend in the field. I was curious about his ability to explain thermo to the casual reader. A lot of the VSI series fail to encapsulate the breadth of the subject in an effective manner, but Atkins manages it here. His definiton of the third law strays towards being too mathematical, this is just nitpicking though.
