Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: One of 20 must read in your lifetime Review: Written and communicated in the way that only Carl Sagan could. A great communicator - a great book - it shows the correct prospective that all human beings should have about our exsistance on this planet.
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Captures Sagan at his zenith Review: This book is a combination of Sagans views and the history and possible future of space exploration. It's a great technical and visual compendium of exploration.The major flaw with the book are some of Sagans views. He spends a great deal of time trashing the Catholic Church for the Inquisition and it's condemnation of Galileo. His conclusion is that it's better to adopt a purpose of seeding the universe with ourselves rather than believing any fable regarding a Designer of the universe who cannot exist. Sagan becomes the die-hard worshipper of science and promotes some fables of his own. Such as careening hundreds of asteroids into Venus to terraform it. He falls into the fantasy of cheap energy as depicted in all science fiction. The facts presented in the book are solid and deep. It's Sagans opinions and flights of fancy which, had they been toned down, would have made this a great book.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Life altering! Review: One of the best books I have ever read. Pale Blue Dot belongs on the list of classics that every school child should read.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: A truly important book for our times. Review: This book is one of the best I've ever read. The chapters are engrossing and awe inspiring. The accompaning photographs and illistrations make this a must read for anyone who has ever had the slightest interest in what we can accomplish if we have the vision. Of all the Sagan books I have read, this one tops them all.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Read with an open mind, change your outlook on life Review: A "sequel" to Cosmos, this book shows that the sequel can be better than the original. Sagan teaches us about the universe and about ourselves in an enthralling manner. Every chapter of this book is my favorite. Without question, the best non-fiction I ever read. Get ready to question any pre-conceptions you have about God, the origin of Humankind, and your soul. Pale Blue Dot will change your life. For the better.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Great Book! Review: I thought that this was a great book. I am really into cosmology but I decided to read this book and thought it was very interesting about all the planets.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Almost impossibly breathtaking Review: Pale Blue Dot is visually dazzling, tightly reasoned, and extraordinarily inspiring; it is perhaps the best of the many masterpieces Carl Sagan has produced.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Everyone should be reading this book! Review: This is a book that is for men, women, and teenagers; in fact, it is a book meant to be read by all of humanity. Pale Blue Dot's subject, the future of humanity, is imaginatively explored and it gives good insight into the future of the human race. If you do not like science fiction this book will open you up to the future and perhaps make you understand science fiction fanatics. If you like Science fiction this is a great book to read because all of science fiction is based on the science facts of today and yesterday which this book explores.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Greatest Book I Have Ever Read Review: This, by far, was the greatest book I have ever read. It provides such a deep understanding of our could-be future in space, that once you've started reading it, its hard to put it down. The theories contained within it are so radical, yet when he explains it, they seem so attainable. He really convinced me that we need to push on in space not only to, as he says, fulfill our neverending desire for new lands, but also to keep us alive and thriving, as we are now.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Sagan's perspective continues to make the mind boggle. Review: Pale Blue Dot is certainly one of the most inspirational books of our time. Sagan puts into perspective our conceided and embarrassing behaviors as earthlings. But from this realization of our own ignorance he somehow manages to be eternally optimistic and positive. My greatest fear is that this book will not reach the ones that need enlightment the most: Our young, our ignorant, and our deviant. Can you imagine someone reading Pale Blue Dot, then going out and committing a violent act? Can you imagine someone being racist after reading this book? It would be hard to phantom! Sagan is at his best in this highly interesting and enjoyable journey into the future and ourselves
