A very interesting and a page turner book. Best for the beginners and also for deep learns. It's also relatively easy to understand and the writing style of the writer is just excellent! Gonna place it on must read astronomy books in my list. Every term on the page maintained a very well sequence. And the reference books were very helpful & mind blowing. The pictures were very helping too. U must read it, if u love astronomy.
