" A fun, quick read, but not really written very well. I should have possibly given it a lower rating, but the experiments are well chosen and fun. The drawings/diagrams and explanations are somewhat tedious and ultimately not that informative, the historical background is randomly anecdotal (not germane) and sometimes irritatingly speculative. In the final experiment, the author includes information about his own attempt to recreate the Millikan oil drop experiment (mass and charge of the electron.) The digression is somewhat interesting (I would love to visit that store in New Mexico that sells all of the old Manhattan Project equipment,) but it is inconsistent with the rest of the book and therefore confusing.
