Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

I sort of liked this book, but it was too short on each topic that by the end it barely made sense to me reading it when most of the things are 2 seconds away on a web search. Actually, that was what I did for basically every chapter, as a way to know what else is missing and also explains why it took me longer to finish it. It does not go deep on anything and give you a very surface level understanding of the universe.

I guess that was the point of the book at the end, and I am being too picky here. Despise my rating, it was entertaining and enjoyable, just that I was expecting a bit more substance.

The first few chapters were a little abstract for my head, but the rest was easy to digest. I loved the approach Tyson takes to make the universe a little less out of touch for results folks. Enjoy the facts sprinkled with stories. :)

This book is fabulous. I was half a chapter in when I asked for a highlighter to mark some of the more illuminating and well written passages. I can't recommend it enough.
