hagbard_celine's review against another edition
4.0
The book about comets that I've been searching for. Ya gotta love that Sagan voice. Still woefully out-of-date, though. Seems like it was revised for reprint during the same 1996 "books about comets" boom, but that just means it's 20 years behind instead of 30.
Delightful.

Carl Sagan's writing is extraordinary for a reason - and few science authors have captured a similar level of passion, excitement, and pathos for the subject like him. Not to mention the artwork and diagrams are immaculately chosen.

This was interesting but not the most engrossing book I've ever read. I still enjoyed learning about the origin and composition of comets and their role in the solar system, but I felt like a lot of information was a little bit redundant and at times I definitely felt my attention begin to wander.
