Great overview of the LHC. Does a review of all of the particles. I have been following all of the particle stuff for years through Scientific American and thought I knew more, the book reminded me I don't. You can probably enjoy the book more if you just read about the particles and not get hung up on remembering all of their properties, which I tried to do, but not being a particle physicist it is tough, so just read about them and continue the books narrative. The descriptions are all very readable for the non-physicist if you don't get hung up on particle specifics. I agree with Larry, the dual mention of every property in English and Metric units is very annoying.
