pineconek 's review for:

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson
4.0

I need a book like this on every single topic I enjoyed as a child and now have vague ideas of that I haven't fully fit together in a coherent way.

The audiobook, read by the author, is an absolute treat. Everything I'd ever heard about quarks, dark matter, the moons of Jupiter, relativity, the periodic table, the multiverse, etc. was connected so neatly and clearly that it actually sits in the correct spaces in my head. That's kinda neat.

Highly recommended but especially if you think physics is cool (but struggled learning it), love feeling the vastness of our universe, and enjoy finding out how scientists named things.
