It does the job of teaching about astronomy

This book does the job it is designed to do, and it is written well, so it is relatively easy to understand. I recommend this book.

Can be hard to understand

This book is interesting enough, but was very hard to understand sometimes. At times during reading i would have to look up several words just to try to grasp what the writer was talking about. I would reccomend this book to someone who is seeking a more in depth look into Astronomy. Gives lots of good information and comes with a very imformative computer program that provides several tutorials on how to use it. Good book, too indepth for this reader.
