Title: I went in dumb and...
Review: ... came out dumb too.I'm usually the first in line when there's Weighty Knowledge to be had on the cheap, and there ain't much that's toting a heavier load than Einstein's Theory of Relativity. So, skinny book + cartoons on every page + minimal text = Smart Me. Oh, happy day.I was doing okay up until the two crows that looked kind of like Heckle and Jeckle showed up. Look, you can throw all the cute pictures you got but they aren't going to get me any closer to understanding geodesics and metrics. And that was just the crows! The chimp with the egg beater was pushing tensors and the gorillas with the pointy sticks were trying to explain vectors. Sorry. From the birds on I was absorbing what the authors were throwing at me about as well as a concrete wall absorbs tennis balls.I like the idea of presenting complex topics in a graphic-text format. Unfortunately, I think this topic needs quite a bit more text and (gulp) an in-depth explanation of the math behind it all.
