As the author says himself, you will either love or hate this book. Not much room for in-between. Personally, I loved it. Vintage King dialogue and New England characters.

Very detailed, perhaps to a fault, but a good read for the history buff. You have to be impressed with the extent of the author's research.

Just like the title says. Explains in understandable language just how far a light-year really is and how small a micrometer is. Fun to read.

Fun way to organize lists - based on the number of items on the list. For example - Who were the 3 Musketeers? to What are the 20 Regions of Italy. There are multiple lists under each number. Fun for any trivia nut.
