This is an easy read, and although you might say "oh yeah, I remember covering that in high school" with some of the topics, I'm betting there will be quite a lot in it that was not covered, not covered thoroughly or maybe at the time you couldn't apply it to information that we're getting in every day life. I'm also willing to be that if anyone read it and said "yeah, I knew all that", then they'd be lying!
I like the dry humor that is thrown in every once in a while ("Physicists can thus actually prove that bricklayers do more work than lawyers") and how it recognizes that ignorance of scientific matters is everywhere - even in the world of trained scientists (due to the level of narrow focus and specialization).
Anyway - I thought it was pretty good and I hope others think so too!
