“It’s for anyone who wants to understand quantum physics. It will be complicated whether you’re a child or not, so I don’t think it makes much difference if you’re an adult or a child reading it. It’s good. It’s nonfiction within a story of the character going into the quantum universe and discovering what it all means. What I like most about this one is that it explains something really complicated and intimidating really well… I like how it goes through each important quantum physicist… It’s like each person summarises what the previous person had thought and what their contribution was. By the end, you have each person’s contribution all in one book, so it’s like a history of that particular science as well… It’s much easier as a graphic novel than if you just read it in a book with no illustrations; I wouldn’t understand it with just a lot of complicated words.” Read more...
