The oldest book on my tbr is finally gone whew.
Anyways so I liked reading this book because it kind of gets deeper into some famous theories which I have only read on the surface but then again the deep isn't deep enough to have a clear idea about the theory. Sometimes it felt like Dr Hakjng is skipping some parts. Well, I can't expect more from it cause it's a pop-sci book written for beginners. I think I need to pick up a more advanced book to get a clearer picture.
Even if all of these issues I have faced I think the book delivered 80% of what it promised to deliver. It's simple, enjoyable, knowledgeable and easily non-put-downable.
3.75 stars. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an easy astronomy book.
