Letters From An Astrophysicist by Neil deGrasse TysonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A book of curated letters sent to Tyson throughout the years, with the answers. There is a bit more as well, such chapter of rebuttals to responses or tweets he sent, and the epilogue as an eulogy to his father. There is one section devoted to the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in 2001, as Tyson and his family lived only blocks away. This part was more letters he sent out to family and friends giving them an account of what he lived through that day.
I listened to the audiobook, where Tyson does most of the narrating. Different narrators took on the role of reading the questions. It was a good way to read this book, but I did find that Tyson seemed to be trying to hard in his narration. Happily there were moments when proving his answers to these queries his voice was more conversational, and easier to listen to.
