Finally, a book about what is known
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Unlike many books relating to quantum mechanics, and the strange universe that exists on the quantum scale, this book is dedicated to a subject that is known and (as far as can be said about anything relating to the quantum scale) understood.

This book does a superb job of explaining to the layman (such as myself) what quantum electrodynamics is, and restricts itself to doing just that job and doing it well.

QED loud and clear
 Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
I know little about physics and upon reading this book i gained a clear understanding of QED and it pushed me into the right direction to find out more about the world of quantum mechanics.
A recommeded read.

A Truly Annoying Read
 Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1
All I can say is that I hated this book. It seems it was taken directly from lecture slides with no regard for how it would appear in a book. In order to follow his examples, it is necessary to flick constantly back and forth between pages of crudely drawn diagrams. The subject matter, when he keeps it clear, is fairly understandable (for want of a better word) but the manner in which it appears in the book will make you want to throw it in the fire.

From the master
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
In this book, written for the non-technical, Feynman illustrates with a breathtaking boldness and clarity how common processes (reflection & motion of photons and electrons to name only 3) are in reality far stranger than we think.

Feynman writes not so much to surprise (which he certainly does) but with a passionate desire that we the readers follow what he is saying. This is a book for those who are curious as to what makes the world tick, even if they already have some knowledge of the quantum world. I did not find this an easy read (the concepts are too alien) but it was most rewarding.
