hakimbriki's review against another edition

Good bite-sized treatise on astrophysics. I learned quite a bit reading it, though at times it felt like the author was just throwing facts at me instead of building a narrative. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this for what it is, a meditation on how the universe lives within us.

A lot of this information was over my head, but I still found this to be a very interesting book. I listened to it in audiobook format, however, I would sometimes read along via ebook format and that would help me grasp concepts a little better. I think there is enough explanation in here that concepts, even if completely new to you, still make total sense. Definitely an interesting book, something new for me, and something I'm definitely glad I gave a chance.

Neat collection of essays about the stars from Neil deGrasse Tyson. I think I know some things about the universe now. Tyson talks in non-scientist friendly language, but there was still a lot that went over my head.
