  I must confess that I started this book over a year ago, read a little, put it away, read a little, put it away, etc. I finally picked it back up a couple weeks ago determined to actually finish it, and found that I enjoyed the second half much more than the first. It's well-written, and about what I would expect in a biography. However, I think I would probably enjoy a book *by* Carl Sagan more than a book *about* Carl Sagan... and I plan to read one by him soon. He was a fascinating person, and if a biography is what you are looking for, I don't think you would be disappointed. For me, though, I think I'd rather hear what he had to say, as opposed to learning all about his childhood, failed marriages, and relationship with his kids. It's a 3-star book, but given my struggle getting through it, I can only give it 2 for me personally.
