The book traces the journey of evolution of human understanding about space and time. Although the book has addressed the scientific angle, the biggest takeaway from the book is its historical accounts. There is nothing new or extraordinary compared to other longer astronomy books, but it's a good kickstarter, and I particularly loved the bits of information from the past.

Excellent

Very informative. It feels to be ambiguous , it is good but difficult to clearly understand. Still one must read it. Those who are inquisitive to know about space n time.

Short and interesting, nothing too deep though.

Too concise for people that know the issue, and too complex for kids. Still, it does provide a ready refresher look at the concepts behind Space-Time conundrum, nothing earth shattering, literally...

Very much interesting to read about space


Very good good presentation of history and current status of astronomy science for a lay man. It can also be little more detailed
