Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization by Neil deGrasse Tyson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, this one will keep you awake at all hours. It did me. I found it intriguing. Sometimes I wanted to say he was wrong, and then he would say something that left me thinking. Lots of thinking. I felt more open after the outer space aliens gave their observations about life and most humans, and I felt I could see things from different points of view than I came into the book. THAT is what reading is supposed to cause. Thoughts.

Though I listened to Mr. Tyson reading his own book on an audio-Libby loan, I think I will try to buy a paper copy. I’d like to take this much slower and mull everything through my filters.

If you like reading things that can kick you in the head with new ideas or angles you might not have thought of, this book is for you. Neil deGrasse Tyson’s voice kept me interested in all of it!
