I read the first story which was Sherrilyn Kenyon's story about Fury. I have always loved the stories of his family members and can't wait to read "Bad Moon Rising" which I heard features his brother Fang. I know that short stories kind of push happy endings a little quickly but it was still enjoyable. I read the second story by J.R. Ward who writes the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, which I love. This was a great story and I would expect nothing less from this author. I wasn't really interested in the last two stories so I did not read them. Maybe I will at some later date. Who knows!

This book has great historical significance. And I've read it twice, am a graduate student in English literature, and just can't get on board with it. I can be pressed to give it two stars, since parts of it have their moments. But I just get so bored.

This book is what its title claims: a comprehensive—and often hilarious—look at the big moments in natural history, chemistry, biology, astronomy, etc. Bryson's breezy narrative style suits the project well, and his initial professed ignorance helps get the reader on board from the outset (no didacticism here—he’s a dummy like the rest of us (well, me, at any rate)). He may be prone to overdo the humor (or perhaps go too far in the cheese department), but the fact that he adopts a rather irreverent tone with respect to these hallowed men and their theories, experiments, etc. makes for an enjoyable journey (the reader feels like a school kid making fun of the master behind his back). It is truly a marvel how, in merely a few sentences, Bryson sums up the lives of the most renowned in the history of all science, and how many of these summations have one’s jaw dropping at the levels of misfortune that befell some of these characters. While enjoyable, this book is, quite frankly, a doom-laden tome. Part of Bryson's success is his ability, via avuncular hardy har har, to impart these soul-searing scenarios of random chance and inevitable obliteration without sounding like a guy on the corner in a white robe with a Repent! The End is Nigh! sign in his hands. Bryson is more like, "Check out this marvelous, mind-blowing factoid about the universe's inception...oh, and hey, by the way, we're doomed." Bryson’s not a bully, but he’s covering a bludgeoning subject. We find ourselves cowed by geologic time: we're such a blip on the screen, a pebble on the celestial highway, that it's hard not to feel utterly inconsequential in the grand scheme. This is particularly true for those of us who harbor delusions of, if not grandeur, than leaving some sort of lasting impression on the world (even if it's merely negative). The random nature of evolution contributes to a feeling of fundamental ennui: the development of life—our species in particular—can be read as such a fluke that it produces a kind of "Jeez, I'm just lucky to be here" immobilizing humility. Ultimately, this book isn't about retention: it's a crash course in the origins and development of our natural world/cosmos. The endeavor in itself is ridiculous, which is one of the charming elements of Bryson's book: If it's hubris that prompts him to tackle this, then it's of a remarkably ingenuous, "hey, why not?" or "I'm just trying to help" variety. The material goes in and out of the reader’s consciousness, page by page, chapter by chapter, and one finds oneself enveloped in wonder and fear by turns. But the totality of the reading experience leaves a residual presence in the head of the reader: she may not know specifics, but she’s been given a glimpse of the known world from the perspective of EVERY discipline in the natural sciences—a remarkable accomplishment on Bryson's part.

Although the rest of the story was quite enjoyable. The ending seemed a little hastily thrown together and left a bad taste in my mouth.

This book has all of lifes misteries... You might have to unlock them, but it is worth it
I started reading it and was almost done, well at least more than half way done and I stopped and never really got the urge to finish reading it so I guess it was okay.

Loved this book!!!
When I read this book the first time, in high school, it was soon after I had finished Heart of Darkness, and I found Golding's book to be simply a pale imitation. However, I re-read the book a few years ago to teach it and discovered that it is actually a very unique and masterful work, with some of the most complex and rewarding symbolism I've ever read.
