Gotta love The Carl!
This book is a must read, for everybody.
The Worst
I have never read such a boring book since this year, even Shoe Dog is way better than this book. Cosmos, intriguing topic but written in a extremely boring, dull, tedious way which is beyond my limitation to continue the reading process, which is very painful by the way. This book would be negative 10 stars if I could rate it. There are so many boring things with a only a few graphs, and, oh I can’t believe I am still wasting my time on this book, the very worst book.
