"The two authors have not only the broad spectrum of knowledge and personal experience necessary to master the subject, but also the writing skills needed to provide a fresh and witty narrative that is comprehensible to a wide audience... I strongly recommend it to all those interested in general relativity." -- Roberto Lalli, Physics Today
"Will and Yunes provide an entertaining overview of the many tests that general relativity has been put to over the past 100 years or so... In fact, the book contains a lot more interesting stuff - and nice personal anecdotes - than the title suggests... the authors strike the perfect balance between depth and accessibility, using helpful metaphors wherever is necessary." -- Govert Schilling, BBC Sky at Night
