Very interesting. It starts a bit weak with Kīlauea and Yellowstone, two places I care little about and weren't particularly exciting to read about, but when it arrives to Ol Doinyo Lengai the fun begins. Really impressive and unique volcano. You'd think it's a book about different land volcanoes, but it totally changes course and goes on to talk about underwater and outer space planetary and moon volcanic activity. I wasn't expecting it, but it definitely opened up a whole new world I knew nothing about.

Overall, was a solid looks at the extremes of volcanoes. I think it was cool to see the space and planetary aspect, leading to more questions than answers. I wish I got more of details rather than this cool extreme. Overall a solid popular science book.

This book demystifies the concept of super volcanoes while at the same time giving us an in-depth look at numerous large volcanoes on Earth and other bodies in our solar system. It's written in a style that's easy for a layperson to understand and follow. Informative and entertaining, it's a good choice for anyone interested in earth science.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
