In a nutshell, the language of the book allows you to read it as if it were a story book. Thus far I have read it as reading material to go to sleep on, and read sections during my lunch break at work (as well as in the library). To say that this book would be able to teach QM even to an idiot wouldn't be an understatement; I am an idiot and even I can grasp what he is going on about!

After reading some of this, I had decided that this is an absolute MUST to ANYONE studying quantum mechanics at undergraduate level. Why then have I only given it 4 stars? The same reason as the reviewer below myself; It doesn't contain sections on the hydrogen atom. That said, it still teaches the basics of Quantum mechanics in such a sublime and easy going way, that it deserves to be on any physics students shelf, and is well worth the money. I'm off to place my order for it now!
