ideal for younger readers under 13
It was well written and informative, but did not tell me anything I diant know. I had not reakised it was aimed at younger readers, or I would not have bought it! So it was dissappointing to me.

Amazingly Simple to Understand
It may be written for teenagers but it's teaching me a great deal. Written so simply but not in a patronising way. Great book for the coffee table, next to someone else's book, A History of Time and Space, or the bathroom, or next top the bed. I will most definitely be taking on holiday with me. Brilliant gift for any teenage relative.

Great for older children and tweens.
My 9 y.o. loves this book. We've previously discussed a lot of the concepts, but this seems to answer questions I hadn't thought of, but my son wanted to know. Easy to understand and great for adults as well - if you just want a simple explanation. If you're after a more in-depth understanding (not the aim of this book, but if it sparks an interest in you and you want to follow up ), then I suggest Simon Singh's The Big Bang.

A Good book for School Children
The delivery was quick. Got it the next day. The book is really good except for the fact that most of the pages are black and white. There are few color (polished) pages but for that price, it is not up to the mark. That's why I am only giving 4 stars. However, the content is good and suitable for young explorers.
