This book was quite interesting. At times it was hard to get my head around the terms and information, but it was very interesting none-the-less.

This is a fascinating novel bringing to life a pivotal point for modern astronomy. The lives of Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei are portrayed as very much subject to the religion and policies of the time. It is clear how heavy an influence these cast and makes their determination seem so much more heroic.
