I wonder if I'm the target audience for this book, to be honest. Astronomy is an interest of mine, as is the popularisation of science, but although clearly well-researched this book didn't really do it for me. I'm not sure if it actually falls under pop sci, or if it's more an introductory round-up for those entering or those (even peripherally) involved in the field.

I found it quite dense, and it didn't leave me interested in the topic. I do feel marginally more educated on the other hand (though I'm not sure how much has stuck) so I suppose that's something.
