A good book especially for those who have fundamental knowledge of Physics and keen about knowing the hottest theory in Particle Physics i.e. String Theory.
For a 200 page book to explain string theory, this book has done a great job. The author somehow loses his way and fails to connect the dots. You might want to read this book several times and Google stuff to get the essence.

This is indeed a little book of string theory that introduces us to the basics of the whole theory in simple words,along with a brief understanding of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity and Gravity.Woohoo..Awesome book..I recommend it to all who are interested in the Theory..
Live long Dr.Sheldon Cooper LOL

really good appetizer to greater things in physics. As Dr. Sheldon Cooper might say "tearing the mask off nature to look at the face of God"!!!!
Book isn't a IDIOTS guide, so brace yourselves.
A very good deal indeed. :)
