Information was great but not well thought out in how it was structured. Would not have hurt to chunk it into smaller chapters. The author had seem to have a wondering structure first Physics concept then people the events but very haphazard in approaches. Needs a coy editor to straight out the book for the reader to easily follow. The narrator did creat work considering the piece.
