Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Review: I am a sci-fi nut and recently fell in love with Neil DeGrasse Tyson's podcast StarTalk Radio. I enjoy how Dr. Tyson explains physics in a fun and easy-to-understand way, so I decided to get his book to learn even more.

It was really good and discussed some of the basic concepts in ways that were understandable to a non-physicist. I was only disappointed that it was too short and didn't go into more detail. I guess that just means I will have to get more of his books.
