Space is Cool as F*ck is a fun coffee table style book that covers deep-dive physics subjects in an easy to understand, fun style.
The style is unapologetically bold. If you hate profanity, this is not the book for you. SiCaF has no apologetically soft tone found so often in science writing.
The science itself is interesting and probably on a level able to be understood by most adults.
My only complaint is that while the pictures were cool, they rarely had to do with the subject being covered.
Overall, this would be a good addition to a library if someone wants to read about really cool space stuff but doesn't want to read a textbook.

I received a copy of this book from Andrews McMeel Publishing and Netgalley.

This was a very short and very fun read. I enjoyed the humor immensely.

From the title, you can guess what to expect to find in this book, and I expected something similar. I would say the author is targeting young people. The author simply explains space facts, and there is some useful information in this book. Reading about space shouldn't be difficult, and this kind of content should be for all. Here I agree, but unfortunately, the style is not to my taste. So I would give this 2.5 stars rounded to 3.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

Cannot open on Android using Kindle or Adobe. It is a PDF file but doesn't seem to work so I am unable to review this particular book.

"Space is for everyone" we're told – well this book isn't. For t*ssers who feel the need to f**king swear every mutha-second. Punctuated by completely spurious visualisations, where echt space imagery gets replaced by some kind of modern art adoption of the same, every paragraph, every title, every box-out has to have some cussing in – and here, the C-word does not mean "comet". I seldom dip to giving a one star, as that under any rating can only mean the worst of the worst, and it is indeed hard to work out how this ever got greenlit. It makes you feel dirty – as if the child snickering at school about the name Uranus was down a K-hole for his space science exam.

Leave "cool as f**k" to Inspiral Carpets T-shirts.
