'Astrophysics at its sexiest...hugely enjoyable' Sunday TimesTrade ReviewA
superb storyteller * Financial Times *
Just like its subject this book is a seemingly miraculous compression of a vast amount of material into an implausibly small space. It's
packed with revelations ... hugely enjoyable * Sunday Times *
Wonderful ... Janna Levin has a talent for explaining mind-boggling concepts ... the language is conversational and, in places, rather poetic ... Perhaps the book's greatest draw is the book's survival guide element ... This book
will really get you thinking, scratching your head, and eventually understanding the nature of black holes * BBC Sky at Night Magazine *
Gripping, heartbreaking, brilliant * Sunday Times (on Black Hole Blues) *
Spectacular ... a near-perfect balance of science, storytelling and insight * New Statesman (on Black Hole Blues) *
