Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good discussion on dimensional physics
Review: Fasinating and accessable. Another book on the subject that addresses more of the implications of these dimensions (especially concerning God) is astronomer Hugh Ross' "Beyond the Cosmos." Read together these books make an excellent "home course" on dimensional physics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mind bending work!
Review: What a great piece of writing! Through the authors literary prose you are taken into the mind of a theoritical physist. The author explains what are clearly advanced topics so clearly that any lay person should be able to understand. A great example of pure genius of our time. Hopefully this book will inspire the next Einstein or Napier.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Kaku is an amazing author and theoretical physicist
Review: I saw this guy at first on an MSNBC panel show call "the futurists" at about 5 am Jan 1, 2000. Although the show was short, my attention was engulfed in what he was saying, as he explained these things--type-n civilizations, hypercubes, and so on--with amazing carisma. I absolutely love theoretical and hypothetical arguments with friends (*cough* nerd :-) ) and always talked about these things. Needless to say i grabbed the book and have started reading it straight through the nights!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Excellent Book.
Review: I had been looking for such a book all my life, At times i found myself smiling because of the beauty of the information and how the author made it crystal clear,its a really wonderful book, enjoy the physics science with this book. i even recommended my mother to buy it , but unfortunately she said ,"i cant read in english.".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highschool has gotten more interesting
Review: I have found that highschool is more interesting now that I have read this book. I did not know about all the possibilities of existence. needless to say I am stoked about physics and have just enrolled in ap physics. this book is a inspiration. I hope I can help us become a type one civilization.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent description of leading GUTs
Review: This was a very well written book that keeps the reader interested even while covering very complex theories. What it lacked in technical depth, it more than made up for in broadness and ease of reading. You do not need a Ph.D. in astrophysics to enjoy the book. It is easy to understand and follow the concepts and theories.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AMAZING......
Review: Though I never knew thigs like this were real, I found this book to be a revalation. Those interested should be most pleased by this writing as well as this topic!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Interesting but needed a better chronological approach
Review: "Hyperspace" is a good introduction to superstring theory and its potential implications, such as time machines and parallel universes. (I was probably drawn to this book because I just finished reading Crichton's "Timeline.")

Indeed, although much of what "Hyperspace" covers can be found in other books, the cosmology section of the book is well-written.

Unfortunately, the section discussing the background and development of superstring theory suffers from a failure to set forth a clear chronology. Instead, the author jumps back and forth among different theories that flourished and then died. It was impossible to keep in mind where string theory was, relative to quantum theory, in say the 1950s.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Intriguing!
Review: By use of creative analogies, in-depth discriptions, and the occasional diagram, Michio Kaku has managed to make the world of hyperspace easy to understand and very interesting! The book takes you on a journey through time, explaining the evolution of modern hyperspace, and leading up to the most recent discoveries. I loved it and highly recomend it to anyone who dares to question the unknown. A+ material!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good for the layman, but disapointing to physicists
Review: Kaku is doing a service by writing in the format he did: I have recommended this book to many friends of mine who know nothing of physics. But I would not recommend this to anyone who actually studies string theory and higher dimensional subjects; this book exaggerated quite a few things that shouldn't have been focused on, and it read more like a story-book than a physics text. In other words, it's great if you don't plan on delving into the field very far, but if you're an aspiring student, I'd much rather have you read Feynman's lectures.
