I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I think that it was the perfect balance between narrative and science. Bell begins the book by giving an overview of his background and his connection to the Voyagers. Luckily, this section didn't drone on and on (his life is interesting, but then again, this is not a memoir), and Bell quickly transitioned to speaking about the Voyagers. The book is logically organized - based upon the chronological order of the Voyager events - and that makes it easy to follow. Bell does an excellent job of weaving imagery, science, and the story of Voyager into well-paced chapters of digestible length. He is also spot on with the amount of scientific detail he provides. It is enough to satisfy an information hungry person like me, but it is easily digestible for someone who may not be as familiar with the science before reading the book. In all, I gained a great appreciation for the not only the Voyager missions, but also for the planets and moons in our own backyard. |

IntroductionWelcome to the Book Blog, where I'll post quick reviews on the books that I've finished reading. Some of the early reviews are a bit brief, but as I slowly started to have the idea for a book blog, I tried to make my comments more substantial. Archives
