OK, so you're not really supposed to read coffee table books. I did anyway. So sue me.
The writing strikes a perfect balance between science jargon and understandable English. The flow is great too, starting in our own solar system and then moving further outward until the reader reaches the outer limits of the universe. Spectacular photos throughout as well. Even if one does not have much of an interest in the cosmos, this book remains a great work.

Hoping this book will be a great coffee table discussion starter about the creator of the Universe.
