So little and so much

I have read several books on Quantum physics and I have never come accross such clear explanations on some strange concepts ranging from black body radiation to QED and Quantum teleportation. And in only 70 pages! I think Gribbin's strength is in its ability to explain advanced concepts from the layman's point of view.

Nice try, but most readers are better off skipping this book

The only audience which should consider this book is those who have a sincere interest in science but very little or no knowledge of quantum mechanics. Such readers can casually browse through this book and get a feel for how bizarre and interesting quantum mechanics is, thus whetting their appetite for further study. However, the book is very short, and it therefore lacks the depth and details needed to provide a meaningful understanding of the subject even at the popular science level. Most novices would therefore be better off skipping this book entirely and, instead, reading a more substantial book at the popular level, of which there are many. Readers beyond the novice level would definitely be better off skipping this book -- even for review purposes, they would find the book to be too superficial to be useful.
