Reader Reviews 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: modern physics that makes sense to my ten-year-old, January 29, 2003 Reviewer: Paula Burch from Houston, TX United States Serious Sherlock Holmes fans may be offended by the use of their favorite characters, but the characters are well done and make the subject vastly more accessible. I've been reading this aloud to my ten-year-old, with only occasional asides explaining an unfamiliar word or pointing out an anachronism, and he now knows more about relativity than most adults. The explanation of how an atomic bomb works is wonderfully clear. The plots and characters retain my son's interest, keeping this firmly among the ranks of "fun" rather than "improving" books, while explaining important material in an easily understood way.
