5.0 out of 5 stars
A Thought Provoking Collection of Carl Sagan's essays.,
This review is from: Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium (Paperback)
I discovered Carl Sagan late in life and this book was my first introduction to his work. This book has now taken its place as one of the best books that I own. It is a collection of essays written by Carl Sagan covering a range of topics including an extremely touching story about the illness from which he died. Carl Sagan is an excellent writer and I found this book so compelling that I really was unable to put it down. A fantastic introduction to his work. Highly readable, very enjoyable and thought provoking.

Great book, but not his best.,
This review is from: Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium (Paperback)
This is well worth reading, but cerainly not his best book. I recommend 'Cosmos' or 'Demon Haunted World' if you really want to be blown away by Sagan and Science.

Sagan at his greatest.,
By mark.todd@talk21.com (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium (Paperback)
For those who have discovered Carl Sagan, little is needed here for you other than to know that this is Sagan at his finest, but then again, he always is. For those who have not yet encountered this mans work, you are hopefully about to discover something that will at times bring you to tears , but at all times will make you think, about you, about us, about where we live and about where we may go in the future IF we become wiser. God bless Carl, If I could ever have met anyone dead or alive , it would have been you.
