Provokes deep thought.

very enjoyable book. a good baseline introduction to help you dive into the expanse of the universe and quantum physics.

Fantastic!

This is exactly what I want from a Tyson book! This is exactly what I want from a Cosmic Queries book!
Look, I'm an avid StarTalk fan. I'm also a big science fan, so a lot of this book was nothing new to me. Some of it was, but that's really not the point. It's the presentation! This book is written almost like a conversation. It isn't dry facts listed out about discoveries and the people who found them. Instead it's laid out like a story, filling you in on the facts. Wonderfully written! The audiobook has Tyson for bits of it, like his tweets pertaining to the chapter subject, the majority is read beautifully by Laura Fortgang. She needs more VO work!

Yay! Dr. Tyson

painted colorful imagery of the world of physics.
very well narrated. I would definitely recommend.

great for physics buffs

listened to it three times so far. I find something new each time and look forward to another one.

Deeper insight to things I've learned from Neil

This was a great book, covers a lot of things that Neil has talked about. Goes a little more in depth, with a variety of different topics. What I got out of it was a reminder that nothing lasts forever, very humbling. Thank you Dr. Tyson, for inspiring and educating in the best way possible. for this I will keep looking up!

It’s Neil. What else do you need to know?

Astrophysics on a silky smooth voice. Great listen. Neil’s a great author and narrator. Everything he does is fantastic

Cosmic Queries

It was a good read, I had to read it because of an astronomy class and Im glad I chose this book. I found myself at times just completely nerderd out, I especially love the part about the multiversal theory.

Very entertaining and informative book.

Wow, what a great book and the female narrator was even better. Loved every minutes of this book. Very often I get a request to explain certain topics in this book. I loved how they did it and will use their methods whenever I can. I purchased a digital Kindle copy for reference. It will be one that I listen to several times.

Great Book

This is a very informative book, It is very well produced and is a pleasure to listen to!

enjoyed

definitely would listen again and recommend for any space or science enthusiast. love the structure as well.
