Reviews

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not entirely sure what it says about me that my sister in law bought me a kid’s book about space. Fun & sometimes meditative. Obviously a bit light on all of the theories, but covers a surprising amount.

Fun and interesting read. History of the universe told partially in diary style. Unnecessarily big and heavy with weird orange colouring to my taste, but that's just a window dressing. Content-wise a wonderful read.
