The sense of wonderment and exhilaration that one gets from this book is just awesome! It does tend to put things into perspective about our place in the universe. One part which I was going through recently was theorizing on the Big Crunch or multiple Big Bangs, and it just made me say WOW at how little I understand. It's really amazing how little we understand of our universe!

Sagan makes science sexy! The writing style, and the way he communicates rather dense information even, is great and awe-inspiring. Yes, he's opinionated, but you can not be passionate without being opinionated.

Heartily recommended.
