Good Omens by Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman
3.0
I'm not sure on this one. The latter half was better, though it didn't quite meet my expectations. On the other hand, now I miss many of the characters. The ending was good. Overall - not bad at all. :)
In Search of Schrödinger's Cat: Quantum Physics And Reality by John Gribbin
5.0
John Gribbin tells the story of quantum physics form its inception at the beginning of 20th century through to the 1980s.
Aimed at a casual reader, it doesn't require any physics-related knowledge, is interesting to read and will open your eyes to the world around us. It explains everything, starting at the basics of the structure of matter and light and ending with the many-worlds theory and supergravity.
As Niels Bohr once said: "Anyone who is not shocked by the quantum theory has not understood it."

Jánošík! Pravdivý príbeh legendárneho zbojníka a jeho družiny by Dušan Taragel, Jozef Gertli Danglár
4.0
An illustrated book on the legendary Slovak bandit. Overall, I think it fits the theme quite nicely - the characters and language used seem appropriate. Historically _very_ inaccurate, though - the real ending was replaced with a happy one.
