Tim Gregory

You know when people get really amped up talking about something they love, and you have no idea what they are talking about, but it is so endearing and you want to encourage them? It’s like that.
The passion and excitement of Tim Gregory is contagious. Listening to this audiobook (narrated by the author and it didn’t end horribly!), you can tell how much this guy LOVES meteorites. With the text alone, I’m pretty sure it would be just as evident, but you would be missing out on his show more classy accent. Overall, it was a great book that I’m sure I would have loved regardless, but the apparent enthusiasm of the author towards the subject matter really makes it something special. show less

Informative and Poetic. Gregory knows his subject extremely well and knows how to explain it well to an audience that doesn't necessarily have near the academic pedigree in the field that he seemingly does. Ostensibly a story about the space rocks that land on earth, this tale is part history, part chemistry, part theoretical astrophysics, and a whole lot of detailed yet understandable explanation of how all of these fields interact as it relates to the subject at hand. I learned more about show more chemistry from reading this book than I *ever* understood from my high school chemistry class. Very much recommended. show less

It was interesting. There were many tricks.
