A story for any age. The story of nurture, pride in what is and what will be. An uplifting rhyme with a deep core.

A fascinating man with such a way with words. Captured elegantly in one anthology. It can be read as a book, or just a chapter at a time. I find myself always dipping in to read one of his works.

Whimsical and wild, this book is a delight. A sweet read that leaves you yearning for a sweet treat.

Heartfelt and endearing. You can find yourself tripping over your words at times with the BFG's dialect on full display, but a quick, lighthearted read for anyone.

Funny songs, from a great film. What more needs to be said!

Read this book. That's it. If you are reading this review and curious about whether to add this to your reading list, end your consideration now. For me this is mandatory reading for anyone, and I endeavour to make it an annual read for myself.

The intelligence it takes to understand these complex concepts is remarkable, but what is more astounding is the ability to explain their key points in bitesize lessons for all to digest. That skill is profoundly on display in this little, beautiful book.

A bit of fun, and a small insight. It is exactly what it promises to be.

The skill of Rovelli is his ability to philosophise whilst bringing his audience with him. This book does precisely that and it does it so succinctly. Don't get me wrong, the subject matter is far from succinct but at no point do you get lost, you are guided every step of the way. I can imagine for a lay-person that there would be times where your eyes slightly gloss over, but that is the nature of what we don't know, it is so vast.

Perfect. I found myself laughing at the macabre inevitability of the story. Orwell uses a very thin veil for his metaphor, but nevertheless, it is done with elegance and precision. I would recommend this book to anyone.

A beautiful breakdown of Heisenberg and the journey of early Quantum Physics. It's one for lay-people and physicists alike, and that takes a lot of skill in writing. If you are a physicist though, like myself, don't expect detail and breakdowns, more philosophy. This book leans more into the 'why' than the 'how'.
