5.0

I absolutely loved this book! It was very "reader friendly" in the sence that I felt like I would have been able to follow most of it even without a science background. The occasional pictures and short "subchapter" sections, along with some really entertaining writing, made it easy to stay focused and interested. This book is along the same lines as [b:Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries|22543|Death by Black Hole And Other Cosmic Quandaries|Neil deGrasse Tyson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167351357s/22543.jpg|1204936], but I liked this one a little better because it was an easier read and it had pictures to help explain what the author was talking about. Overall, it was a very fun read by a fun author whose funny personality makes itself known throughout the book.
