4 stars. Definitely enjoyed Astrophysics for People in a Hurry more than this one but it was still a really good listen. The narrator does a great job and it was very informative and interesting. I just really enjoy listening to this topic on audiobook. Don't ask me why, but it is really comforting and relaxing to me and I honestly cannot for the life of me explain why.
I recommend this book if you're into the subject, but again, like with Tyson's other book, this is not a starting place or introduction into the subject of Astrophysics. You're gonna need a little bit of knowledge but even if you don't know too much about it and still want to just jump in, go for the audiobook at least. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on another audiobook by Tyson because the guy is awesome and makes what could be a very confusing subject a whole lot of fun.

Interesting, and thoroughly informative. I always learn more than I can possibly remember when I listen to Neil's books (and others in this field). But this one just lacked the excitement that others have had. Could have been the reader (although he was fine), could have been me. I don't know.
Don't get me wrong, well worth reading/listening. Just not the best of his output.
