I'm not sure who this book was for. For the scientifically challenged like me, it seemed too technical and difficult to follow. Much of this book went over my head, although I did gain general ideas from it. On the other hand, Nye spent a lot of time explaining simple concepts and ideas, so I'm not sure it would be very worthwhile for people who actually have much prior scientific knowledge.

But take that with a grain of salt because I am particularly slow when it comes to science, so maybe it was just me. And I listened to the audiobook which makes comprehension even more difficult.

That said, I am glad I read it and I do plan to read his other book. I just wish I'd been able to get more out of this.
