Summary: Comprehensive Physics
Review: I first read this book as a high school sophomore and loved it! It inspired me to take physics in my junior year, and when I reread it, I gained even more.You definitely don't need a strong physics background to understand/enjoy this book; in fact, all you need is some curiosity and and adventurous mind. Read this book. It can only make you think. =)

Summary: 5 HYPERSTARS
Review: This book was one of the most AMAZING books I have ever read. It expanded my consciousness to an explosion that created and/or activated a new way of thinking, dreaming, and changed my entire being. (bowing to Mr.Michio Kaku), to have this effect on people. With the super intense subject manor, it's amazing how he put it in simple terms that the lay people can comprehend. The examples, stories, and excerpts from other books were put together very cleverly. I can not say enough about this book and it's author. This book puts a new classification in the words "theoretical physics". I had no idea that I and others would be effected in this way. A total life change from just one book. "Hyperspace : A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the Tenth Dimension" is a must! Way more "out there" than most made up si-fi. Who needs fiction with factual books like this. VERY IMPRESSIVE! I give this book 5 x 1000000000 hyper stars.

Summary: Michio Kaku is the greatest!
Review: Michio Kaku has come up with one of the greatest semi-laymen's books about higher dimensional physics and cosmology since "A Brief History of Time". Taking up to an extent where Stephen Hawking left off, Kaku builds on the idea first introduced in "A Brief History of Time" and takes your understanding of Hyperspace and wormholes, etc . . . to a whole other level. This is definately not a beginners book, unless you're really intuitive about this kind of thing. It's better than some of Kip Thorne's bulkier works. The best thing of all, is that Kaku makes you understand everything he's talking about without using one single fancy-schmancy mathmatical equation that you'd have no idea of ever understanding. There are a few in the back for furthur referencing . . . I think it's a metric tensor, but I'm not sure. Easily, one of the greatest and most inspiring book s I've ever read. A must by for any library which already has "A Brief History of Time" in it.

Summary: Interesting Reading
Review: This was the first book I have read dealing with other dimensions, parallel universes, time warps,etc. It presents alot of new ideas that I was not familar with in a good format. Some of the more technical aspects dealing with the higher math used became somewhat boring. The theorys presented about the creation and the ending of the universe were great. The last half of the book seemed much more enjoyable to read than the start. The book is broke down into five parts; 1. Entering the Fifth Dimension 2. Unification in Ten Dimensions 3. Wormholes 4. Masters of the Hyperspace A good first book for someone on Hyperspace.

Summary: An Intellectual Thrill Ride
Review: Hyperspace is incredible; no other book I have ever read has touched on so many interesting things. From how to visualize higher dimensional objects in our world to god and time travel and multiple universes, Hyperspace is for anyone interested in modern science, physics, and philosophy. It does leave you with questions, but they are good questions; they are either ones that keep you thinking, or ones that leading research physicist are also asking.

Summary: Very good approach!
Review: I bought this book because I wanted to learn about thesuperstrings theory. The first part of this book deals withsuperstrings in a 11 dimensional space and multiple universes; and the second part of the book is about star formation, black holes, whormholes, time travel...etc. The first part was really well covered even though this subject is very complex. This book gave me an insight into another field in astrophysics, Theoretical Astrophysics. If you are more interested in the second part of the book, I recommend other books such as 'Black holes and Time warps' by Kip Thorne. It is more complete and well presented.

Summary: Wonderful book
Review: This book was a great read, it really opened my eyes and made me think. Michio Kaku is a wonderful author, able to make difficult concepts easily understood by anyone. Hyperspace is a must read for anyone and everyone.

Summary: This book rules!
Review: This is my first book in physics and it rocked! Michio Kaku give easy to understand examples that helps understand complex ideas. No math background needed. I am 13 years old. If I can understand it, anyone can. This is a must buy if you are interested in physics and theories about space-time. I plan on reading more from Michio Kaku. BEYOND EINSTEIN is my next target =)

Summary: Hyperspace
Review: Hyperspace is an excellent book. It's a book that has condensed so much knowledge into so little space that you can read it again and again and still get something new out of it. I read this book first in 8th grade, but read it again in several years with more science knowledge behind me. The first time was lovely, but I appreciated the book alot more the second time I read it. Michio Kaku, in addition, is a wonderful writer. His procession of thoughts is very logical, and the wording is precise. Many other physics/math books I've read have been dissociated and difficult to read because the authors lack writing skill. As a proficient reader, I find that it is just as easy to appreciate this book for its ideas as it is to appreciate it for the writing skill displayed.

Summary: Casual Physics....
Review: I first read this book when I was 11, and was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Kaku at a lecture shortly after finishing it. After recently rereading it as a college student, I feel I have a much deeper understanding of the subject in general, and feel qualified to give a short review of this book. Much of the critical acclaim received by this book is, indeed warranted, for two main reasons: First, it provides an accessible route for the casual scientist to explore theoretical physics, an area in which I believe many books fall far short. Second, it reintroduces theories such as wormholes, higher dimensions, and superstrings to the public, and in doing so, creates more interest in the sciences. (e.g., more funding, etc..). This book will be a disappointment, however, for the person already well aquatinted with Hyperspace's subject matter. Bottom Line: A great primer for theoretical physics, suitable for anyone interested in exploring this area, but the seasoned reader/professional physicist will likely find this a very elementary, albeit entertaining read. I really wish I could give it another half star. Have fun! ;-}
