Though a little bit outdated since astronomy has made significant progress in the last 40 years, the book still manages to create a sense of wonder in the reader. The author's love for the cosmos is contagious making this a gateway book to astronomy - deserves the 5 stars!

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this classic bestseller! It’s written more like a dialogue or a discussion rather than a recitation of facts and stories. The language is poetic, at times incredibly romantic - you will fall in love with the cosmos! The books covers diverse fields like biology, religion, physics, history and the author does an outstanding job weaving them together build an understanding that is pure bliss. Recommended!
It's a rich book, discussing history, evolution and further possibilities in the extraterrestrial universe. Anyone with interest to explore the past and is fascinated by the universe would enjoy this.
