"It will entertain and delight." Independent on Sunday

"He bridges the gap between our childish sense of wonder and a rather more profound grasp of the scale of things." Independent

"Cox's romantic, lyrical approach to astrophysics all adds up to an experience that feels less like homework and more like having a story told to you. A really good story too". Guardian
