As far as popular physics books go (and now there are a lot), this one is good; but also doesn't offer much new. I enjoyed the structure it followed (overall organization as well as the structure within each chapter) and Frank Wilczek's continued, repetitive insistence on drawing our attention to relative scales of space & time and the richness our lives indeed have from that frame.
A good, easy read.

This book is packed with knowledge on the different levels. As a former physicist I enjoyed it a lot. It assumes that you’re a bit familiar with physics and the main concepts but I’m sure everyone is able to keep up and pull good stuff from the book.

(3.5) I think this book suffered from me reading too many just like it, which isn’t the (famous, brilliant physicist) author’s fault. Also, the writing was dry and I don’t usually mind dry. The title is very alluring for what’s actually a book about how space works. Regardless, he had some new twists on old concepts - I loved the idea that there are more atoms inside of us than in the entire universe (a really soothing concept).
