Astrophysics for People in a Hurry was an interesting read, though early on, Tyson's reading voice nearly put me to sleep more than once. Starting the book made me realize that I wanted more from it. It covered a very far reaching surface level understanding of notable moments and people in the history of astrophysics, and the science behind how we understand the universe. Alas, as a person in a hurry, I wanted more depth than the book has to give.
