A review by emilyinherhead
Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson

informative slow-paced

3.5

This little book packs a lot of large-scale ideas into a small space. I found a few places where a thought seemed to skip forward without explanation, and I had to re-read a few times to understand the logical progression that was happening, but for the most part, the writing style was conversational enough to follow without problems. Did I retain what I read, and could I participate intelligently in a discussion about astrophysics? No. But did I understand it in the moment and appreciate the feeling of learning something new? For sure.
