Summary: a fantastic, stimulating read
Review: This is the kind of book that makes you want to go back to school and actually pay attention. It was fascinating and stimulating. I found myself thinking about it for weeks after I read it. I look forward to my 2nd and 3d read of it.

Summary: Absolutely brilliant. This is why Feynman is a genius
Review: To understand why RPF is a genius, read his books - especially this one.

Summary: Want to know how light work?
Review: Dick Feynman is unbelievable. He pretty much rapped up QED - the contemporary theory of light in a book that isn't even thick enough to take the wobble out of my nightstand. Even if you're the lay off the street with even no elementary school education, you HAVE TO read this book. For ever afterwards you will literaly see light differently.

Summary: A True Teacher does it Again and Again
Review: How on earth can someone teach QED to a person who hasn't had much (or any) math or physics? Most authors dumb down the material, so key concepts are overlooked or over over simplified. And none are usually willing to attack such a complex subject. Feynman has done it. It's amazing, and it's fun.

Summary: An excellent book from one of the most famous University
Review: I've started read this book, and i couldn't stopped. Concise, simply to read, it's a good friend - always there when you need it!!! Well done!

Summary: Finally, a clear explaination of this fasinating subject
Review: What a pleasure it is to find a concise explaination of QED that I can actually understand. I enjoy physiscs as a hobby and don't wish to be burried deep in mathimatical calculations. This delightful book explains many interesting effects of light in our everyday world based on those simple little arrows. I wish physiscs had this much fun when I was in school.

Summary: excellent coverage of beautiful physics for educated people
Review: A beautiful part of physics is conveyed without having to learn some rather deep mathematics. Feynman is one of the wonders in using diagrams to explain difficult things. This book shows how. It is captured from lectures and has a friendly feel as he talks up to his audience.
I found this book an inspiration later when trying to convey some electromagnetic ideas to someone without the math background. The diagramming techniques work well. Without Feynman and this book I may have given up. But if he can explain QED to mere mortals, certainly more of us can convey difficult concepts (far less difficult than QED) to educated adults.

Summary: Something New to Check
Review: QED is one of the clearest books on particle physics I have seen. The beauty of the book lies in Dr. Feynman's approach; he explains concepts in ways that even amateur physics students can understand, and he is not afraid to tell the reader that there are things science can quantify but not explain. Note: Feynman touches on quantum chromodynamic (QCD) theory, and there is another book that further clarifies the relationship between the two theories: look for The Quark and the Jaguar by Murray Gell-Mann. Amazon lists the book, and it is widely available

Summary: Clarifies a difficult subject for beginners and experts
Review: QED, or Quantum Electrodynamics, provides insight into a subject that even physics graduate students have trouble understanding. Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicists of this century, has a lucid style of explanation that leaves no ambiguities

Summary: Simply Great!
Review: I had this book for a while now, and finally got around to reading it.
It is truly amazing because of the way Feynman breaks down complicated things into their abstract main ideas (e.g. the three steps involved in all of the theory of light). And yes, like a previous reviewer mentioned, this is a short book and if you read it like some literature book you will quickly find yourself confused and lost, thus it requires from time to time a careful study of the material.
I would also recommend Six Easy Pieces (and I think it would be beneficial to anyone to read Six Easy Pieces first then QED).
