The Comfort Book

The Comfort Book

If only I had not hated doing maths, I would have loved to take up physics and understand the universe. This book, not sure for how young people, it is. I am 24 and I absolutely Loved It!

I felt sorry for Pluto as a child but Neil is far way cooler ❤️ Sorry, Sheldon 😂 (iykyk)

How old is young!

I'm no child, but I loved it nonetheless! Loved the chunking of concepts, just enough to get young minds thinking!

Good for beginners, not older readers.

The book is pretty generic. I didn't really learn anything new from it as such.
