A firehose of knowledge
This book is totally amazing. It is written smoothly to maximize your contact exposure with all domains of quantum mechanics, and show the most of its magic in the most exciting ways.

Nice overview of Quantum Mechanics
This book is the best place to start if you want to take an epic journey into the world of Quantum Mechanics. The author writes clearly and packs a lot of punch into every sentence.

Good supplementary reading for physics undergrads
This is an interesting book but the intended readership is not clear. No layman can use it -- the math employed is too sophisticated. Nor is it really a QM text. It would probably make good supplementary reading for math and physics undergrads who are taking a QM course. It is written with insight and there are many ideas explained here -- e.g., on the Poisson bracket and variational principles -- that I haven't seen explained so clearly and succinctly elsewhere. But unfortunately it can't serve as a text (nor is it intended to, according to the author). Incidentally, it has 404 pages -- not 256.

Good survey of the field. But still requires some working knowledge of algebra to follow.

Good storytelling with interesting insights
This book walks you through the development of quantum theory, discovery by discovery, from as far back as 1000 years ago. It is written in a way that makes sense and eases you into it without burdening the reader with the the need to understand the mathematical equations too much. Although understanding the concepts will require a certain level of prior understanding. I expect you would need to have at the least mastered high school mathematics, chemistry, and physics as well as an understanding of experimentation.Conceptually, it can be easy to follow in parts, others not so much. Some pages can require rereading several times to grasp the given concept although these. Given that it is on a topic where understanding it requires you to change your perspective of reality, this is likely unavoidable. One of many quotes given by the author: "If you can fathom quantum mechanics without getting dizzy, you don't get it" - Neils BohrI write this as someone who has studied advanced mathematics but still gets intimidated by it. I was looking for a book that helped me understand the concept of quantum mechanics without getting overwhelmed with the math. For me, this book fit the bill perfectly and my mind is blown.

This is a very good book.
This book has done more to explain to me concepts associated with QM than any other source. It packs a lot into a few hundred pages, so I found that re-reading was necessary - but that's true whenever you study any complex subject. The author states quite clearly that his aim is to teach you about QM, not the full theory itself. But I think he does more than that. I've been able to pick up other texts I've bought and make sense of them for the first time. This is a very good book.

QM for the ambitious amateur
Very clear but goes very fast. All the math is explained from a high school level, but it assumes that the reader would not get stuck on concepts that might not be understood at first. It has many equations, but it imparts at least as much knowledge as books marketed to a popular audience.

Semplice ma molto complicato
Il tentativo di spiegare le cose semplicemente e lodevole, ma la materia richiede una matematica molto complessa

Worst paper quality.
Paper quality is not good at all.

Uno más.
No aporta gran cosa al tema. Un resumen como formulario de conceptos de la materia.
