Really interesting material, well written, easy to read.
A large portion of the book quickly covers all areas of basic science.
Because of this, and because I have a bioengineering background, some parts were very familiar and therefore not that interesting.
The parts I did not know, I wound up reading with a lot of interest, because they are described well, and are not all at all dry like many textbooks make them out to be.
I tend to pick up a book, read it half way though, move onto the next one, get half way though, move on, etc, etc, and then eventually make my way back to the very first book and finish it.
Thus, another benefit of the book is that you can stop reading it and pick it up again without any loss of continuity, assuming you get through the current chapter.
The material in the book requires the reader to do some active thinking, so it's not very good if you plan to read it absentmindedly like a mystery novel.
I definitely recommend The Collapse of Chaos if you're not overwhelmed with life, and are looking for some mental stimulation.
