Don't let the title or art fool you! This is a book EVERYONE should read. The provides what infinity really looks like. As a math minor, I thought I had a grip on what infinity is until I read this book. For young readers, they probably wont be able go through the whole book (Which is pointed out in the beginning). (

The book brings the reader on an adventure over unimaginably large numbers. It has a few combinatoric problems and at the end it describes a notation for hyperoperations with base 10 such that a number x enclosed in an n-gon is 10[n]x, which is really nice. (

The book explores increasingly large numbers in a visually stunning way. I gave the book a five star rating because it makes the concepts of these large numbers more graspable and accessible to the average middle school student. (
