Great audiobook for relaxing and gaining knowledge about the universe. Well done and I will likely replay this one over and over before bed.

Comprehensive

A good basic overview of astronomy. Presented in a logical, concise fashion that is entertaining and easy to follow. However, as it was published a while back, it could use an update.

Informative!

The book could be little more thorough on the subjects!
Isaac Asimov definitely recommended to others .
Definitely worth looking into his other books!
