CFK,
I'm glad to read your review. DS was given this book by his grandmother for Christmas, but refused to listen to it (he's still not willing to read longer books) because it's fiction. Instead we read A Briefer History of Time, and so far, part of A Brief History of Time. The funny thing is how much he already knows from watching the science channel, so the non-fiction book (at the least the Briefer History of Time) is not so complicated for him. I didn't push him on George's Secret Key to the Universe, as the reviews I read were lukewarm at best. Now that I know you recommend it, I'll take it out again. We need a new book to read, and maybe I can actually get him to read it himself. So thank you!
