I would've liked more exploration of the singular place amateurism holds in the American psyche and fewer pages devoted to examples of amateurism, but overall a very compelling book and entertaining read.

A nice book by one of my peer's fathers; well-read on audio and full of curious characters and amateur science. This is the last audiobook I will ever listen to while attending Oberlin College in person.

Fascinating subjects and Hitt is a great writer. This book needed better editing for continuity. I definitely got bogged down in the astronomy chapter. The premise is interesting, though.

Good stuff...very like Bill Bryson in a way as one story tumbles into the next.
