When a journalist at a singularly uncontroversial magazine allows his literary aspirations to run riot, circulation goes up, but so does the danger level...

Great fun for Psmith & Wodehouse boosters
Revisado: 11-30-06
Psmith is my favourite Wodehouse character, Jeeves and Wooster notwithstanding. This one is great fun. Full of sly laughs and Psmith's unflappable (significantly short of insufferable) mien. Highly recommended for Wodehouse boosters. The narrator's attempts at American accents are jarring at first, then present a charming, laconic contrast with Psmith's every sparkling utterance.

Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant.

Edifying and Entertaining
Revisado: 08-27-05
This is a great piece of work. I enjoyed the reader's voice and manner; well-suited to Bill Bryson's prose. This is a very accessible book for people interested in science. The overview of science is at just the right level of depth to provide a deep sense of wonder. It is never boring.
Along with the ideas, it's full of fascinating stories behind famous and not so famous scientists. My daughter's favourite was the paleontologist Gideon Mantell, whose life and career sound like they come from A Series of Unfortunate Events. The scope is dizzyingly broad, including cosmology, physics, quantum mechanics, relativity, chemistry, alchemy, earth sciences, and the origins of life. That may sound daunting, but it really isn't.
The abridged version features Bryson's own gentle voice, but this full unabridged version is the way to go. I've never had as much fun in a car. (At least, not alone.)
