First off, I purchased this book just for the beautiful cover, had no idea who the Author was nor what her style was. Science meets poetry, meets myth then swills them all into popular culture. The writing draws you in. Did I fully understand everything I was reading, no, but I did not give up. I will do a re-read just so I can re-think and try and get a better understanding of the full picture of her out of box thinking. I did admire the Author for giving the planets their own chapter. I also liked the glossary at the end of the book. It helped refresh me with some things I had in my brain but don't use very often on science.
Taken from the second chapter, Genesis, "All the while the planets were forming, projectiles flew through the young Solar System like avenging angels." I Love this description.

This is a great book. My sister-in-law has books just for decoration. I found this on their shelf and read it. (They don't even know what books are up there)

OH WOW. I have a friend who uses books for decoration. She one time painted them to fit her style change. I had a melt down and she no longer does that. LOL She just buys the color she needs. She too has no clue on what she has. I am going to reread it. It is one of those you need to read without distractions, so I will take to the mountains to read. We don't have a TV or internet there. It is the perfect spot for these type of books.

I really loved her book Longitude: The True Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time. I didn't know about this one. I'll have to put it on my TBR.
