    Another Bryson book knocks it out of the park. I’ve liked every book of his I’ve read. Granted some more than others, but he’s never done a bad book. His wit shines through.

  2. William

    Enjoyed immensely reading all the background details of the famous scientists, but it got a bit long in the tooth when discussing some of the origins of man and of the universe.

  3. LESLIE V.

    well written. a little dated but very informative
