String theory demystified

This book is an easy and fun book to read,simplifies complex issues in understandable words, well written, for the novice level.

David McHahon does provide a simplified and straight forward overview of String Theory, but fails to make the physics lucid and inviting. He does, however, take great pains to provide lots of worked examples.

First of all, this book is not for everybody. It's not for the pop-science reader, it contains far too much mathematics to be of any use for him.
