Summary: I great fun book on dimesions it explains everything .
Review: I great fun book on dimesions it explains everything even for someone in 4th grade it is a very good book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Lots of fluff
Review: If you are thinking about reading this book then PLEASE consider reading Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe" instead. It does a much better job on string theory and it is more current with the latest scoop on the second superstring revolution.

The second half of Hyperspace is light on content. There is a lot of filler. After reading it, I thought that it was because there was not much else in the way of superstring theory advances. Hyperspace is truly outdated because of its '94 print date. The second superstring revolution began in 1995 which means you are missing out on a number of recent advances. Greene's book gives you the full history of string theory plus the most recent work which was much more fufilling.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: For the non scientific
Review: This book was more like popular fiction, then true science. It had lots of fluff but not much substance. I would recommend this book only for those who are starting out in Physics. It read like a slow Science Fiction book. The writing style was not bad, just overly redundant with no real lessons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is one of the most enlightening books I have ever read.
Review: All I have to say is the man is a genius in his own field. He explains scientific jargon to the layman. He uses excellent analogies to explain a concept or equation. It opened my eyes to the vastness of the universe that has been created, and the possibilities that man has yet to understand about the world in which he lives. It absolutely captivated my attention! Great thought and passion went into his book, and it is evident by his tone, language, and outline. I loved it before the first chapter was completed. Anyone who likes to learn and augment their imagination, should read this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't bother - the writing is terrible.
Review: Poorly constructed sentences, fuzzy descriptions, inappropriate tone, self-serving references, opinion mixed with "fact" - this book has it all. The book is an embarassment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It almost makes you want to become a physisist!!!
Review: I wish I could of read this book in Jr. High or in High School. Dr. Kaku has writen a book to capture the young (and old), minds of anyone interested in physics. It is a great book, thats all there is to it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read
Review: The book serves as an appreciative introduction to the way our world is. The very first statement "scientific revolutions almost always defy common sense" edifies the essence of this book. It should serve as an entertainer for those with an avid interest in physics but not so much in math. I hardly see any math. The way the multidimensional universe is explained is very similar to a grandma's fairy tale. This is a must read for any intelligible being in this society. I feel it is on par with Stephen Hawking's book "A brief history of time".

Summary: My Favorite!
Review: This is my very favorite popular science book. Professor Kaku is an excellent and entertaining writer and he brought a made a very complex subject penetrable by non-physicists.

I never tried to read about string theory because I figured there were no easy ways to learn about it. Then I stumbled upon this book accidentally at the library and had one of those marvelous "AHA!" moments that I haven't really had since I was in school. Thank you, Professor!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly entertaining and addictive, Kaku shows his stuff
Review: Very interesting. Kaku is entertaining and very readable. Not too much math :( but it is a good book book for an intro to multi-dimensional physics.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great intro to hyperspace for beginners and young readers
Review: I am only in the 8th grade, and I read this book! I knew almost absolutely nothing about hyperspace when I first picked it up, but when I finished it, I had a clear introduction. Some parts were definitely difficult to comprehend, but it all came together, eventually. I didn't quite understand the math, it was way above me. I really appreciated the way Mr. Kaku was able to help the reader to visualize what he was describing, by use of metaphors and similies. I know I get frustrated not being able to see those other dimensions and things, so it really helped that he was able to do that for us. I hope he comes out with more books as good as this one - he really got me interested in this subject!
