My Comments: I guess you have to really enjoy maths in order to like this book. However, I love maths and I found this book to be really interesting. It’s filled with some pretty useless but amusing facts. It highlights how awesome and elegant mathematics can be, wrapped around with a nice dose of humour. The humour is really well done; there were a few times where I found the jokes to be very funny. The illustrations add to the experience. It also covers a fairly broad amount of topics, it skims the top and doesn’t go too deeply. That said, I found too much text was wasted on elaborating and giving steps on some examples.
