A review by fallonclark
Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium by Carl Sagan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.

Around page 100, I start skimming and never really found a sturdy spot to pick up on the reading again. At this point, Sagan got into a discussion about global warming and sustainable energy solutions, a discussion now nearly 30 years out of date, followed by a discussion on abortion rights (why?), and a philosophical parsing of the Golden Rule, all of which I skimmed through, reading almost nothing. After that, I opened to a chapter on Gettysburg . . . and took it as my sign to DNF. 

I know Sagan is a masterful astrophysicist, a generally smart individual, and he has many worthy and valid things to share, even posthumously. This book, however, is just not for me. 

I think I will try The Demon-Haunted World for my next dip into Sagan and re-assess.
