Black Hole Survival Guide
by Janna Levin
Not quite the tongue-in-cheek survival guide the title promises, but not a complete miss. Levin presents the physics behind black holes with a thorough, but understandable, narrative, though there are a number of times the metaphors and analogies get carried away and become just a little too confusing.
The premise (how to survive a black hole) is a fun one but Levin kept dropping the ball. A humorous guide would be fun, but this erred too close to serious, scientific writing that would have gone over most casual readers heads.
