This has to have been the best physics book I've ever read. The author is brilliant at putting the subject of science into a format that makes it so much more fun to learn. In addition to explaining things quite well, the author also has a great sense of wit. I think this would be a great read for anyone, even if they're not a big fan of comics (or physics) because it gives you a different way to learn a subject that's usually not that fun to read about.
