I am still reading the book. But it is fascinating to learn about how parallel universes can exist and how our universe may have came into existence. So if you are interested in this topic, I highly recommend reading this book! :D

I really enjoy Michio Kaku in general. Unlike most mainstream physicists, he is willing to entertain the fantastic while remaining true to the tenants of currently held physical concepts.

This book, unlike other works of a similar nature, does a great job of introducing a non-technical audience to some of the current research. He then extrapolates this into the fantastic ideas that tend to capture the imagination of his audience.

Of all the books on the topics of string theory, relativity, quantum mechanics and etc. this one is by far the one I enjoyed the most. He may not get technical enough in some areas for the avid reader, but he makes up for this by firing the imagination in a way that is usually the realm of the science fiction author.

If you are looking for a book of this type and have not read Michio Kaku before, then I wholeheartedly say that this book a great read and a page turner.

Michio Kaku has a gift not only for understanding the complexity of possible realities, but for explaining those very complex concepts to the layperson. Parallel Worlds (along with his other books), quickly brings one up to date on what's happening in the world of Physics. So, if you keep hearing about black holes, parallel worlds, worm holes, and multiverses, and feel confused, this is the book for you. I think it actually raises one's I.Q. ;)

Dr. Michio Kaku's book Parallel Worlds is a good introduction to the science of cosmology and the events, both theoretical and fact, that occur in the universe. The author also explains the possible exsistence of a popular theory known as "String Theory" which has been currently been combined into a thoery known as "M-Theory". He explains all the topics in a clear manner and even inserts some of his own thoughts about the universe he had throughout his life. The only complaint I have is that he should have used the Metric System throughout the book so people who are not familiar, like myself, to the British System do not have to go on the internet and do conversions!
