Part one is excellent, part two is good, part three is interesting but deviates from the theme of the book. Part the discusses how farmers, shepherds, and sailors use the stars but it gets a bit repetitive.

First, read of 2020. I "earhole" read this. Very interesting book, and loved hearing the stories behind the Greek Myth Constellations.
I'm not a big Non-Fic fan, so hence the "earhole" reading, otherwise I more than likely would have fallen asleep while reading it.
Officially loving Audiobooks, and think that they will be a staple this year so I can reach my GoodReads goal, but I have a much larger personal goal. <3

That wasn't an easy book! Even though it's short and is very interesting, it talks about star constellations, why were they called that, and they are very interesting and entertaining stories, but the problem is that this book reference to a lot of Greek mythology, and it gets hard to follow sometimes because I'm not very familiar with it, but if you're are (or you're welling to Google stuff every now and then) then I think you'll enjoy this book .

This was a very satisfying book. I'm sure a physical book would be even better to look at drawings/pictures. The tales of the constellations were told in a fun and engaging way, and the information at the end about how farmers, seamen, shepherds, and astrologers used constellations & starts was absolutely fascinating.
