Fun and interesting

I love the fact that Neil d Tyson made a book on his experience with his fans. They talk about themselves to science and everything in between. It’s refreshing and enlightening. Thank you Neil for another great book. God speed

Excellent read

As a woman of faith and an intense belief in God, I don’t agree with everything he says, but I respect his opinion and admire his assessment coming from a scientific perspective.

Answers to my questions..Amazing!!

I just love it love love it...the precision, the noble way in which he answers each letter but yet with an unexpected discrete punch & truthful statement. His voice is adorable. I love this guys & his entire contribution to the many questionable & unquestionable subjects that one might have. People ask & others dont, perhaphs some like myself might not even know how to ask the question & here is a bright way of getting to those minds like mine. Thank you Neil!

Fantastic read. Did you imagine anything less?

As always… Neil educates, inspires and enlightens. Thank you Neil for another incredible read and experience in your own voice.

Really Enjoyed His Perspectives

So good to hear ordered thoughts and responses. I wonder if he would consider doing a homeschool program for kids? Now that would be enlightening.

Hooked from the beginning!

Oh my gosh, I loved this book! I am so sorry I am only just listening to it! An Incredible Educator and yes, Astrophysicist! Thank you for your true words and open mind. I laughed often and thought a lot!

This guy knows his thing

Listening Mr Tyson is far better than reading his sentences in this book. I really liked his way of reading, it is as if he were constantly disclosing long-held secrets here and there. Even when he is telling the things I already know, it feels like I hear them for the first time. Totally loved it. Recommended for those who would like to turn their commute into something enjoyable.
