believe me or not.....Mr. Gonick has really made his whole cartoon series like simpler than anything else.....all the concepts are elaborated in lucid manner.....any body can learn physics....real worth for money....i am suggesting it to my friends they all are appreciating hope you too....

Excellent refresher

I bought this for my 13-year-old daughter who enjoyed her physics lesson in her GT 8th-grade class. She sat down and read most of the book. She didn't do any of the example work, but she enjoyed the book and I think it was a perfect introduction as she moves into high school. I think anyone who needs to learn the basics of physics would benefit. It's taught from a basic perspective so it's easy to understand even for beginners. My daughter is very bright and adapted quickly. Because it arrived the last week of school, she wasn't motivated to do more than look at it, but she actually took the time to go through the entire book over the next 2 weeks. The illustrations are entertaining and very effective. The explanations are clear and I definitely recommend it.

Our 9 year old keeps it next to his bed and I have to turn off the lights to get him off it.

My 9 years old kid has been reading it since I bought it for him as his birsthday present. He has read most of the book. There is a very nice combination of figures, drawings and explanations that help keeping my kid's focus on different topics and not loosing the interest (which they easily do in this age). To summarize: well worthed the prise and of great educational value.
