Uranus ...Disappointed again with Seymor Simon by Thomas Erickson  3 Stars
November 05, 2009
Been buying Seymor Simon books Uranus,Galaxies, Destination Jupiter, Destination Mars. All to me are not so good. Im an amateur astronomer on a budget so I gambled getting these used Seymor Simon books hoping they would have some reference information I can use.I cant afford to pay $50 per book on these subjects.
Uranus dissapointed me again. Its a kids book. Large type so not much is said. 100% info of Uranus I already knew. Did learn a little more about some of Uranus moons. That was good. Uranus moon pics are good.Already knew I will never see a detailed view of Uranus. Its always a blue disk so I cant fault Simon on that.
Gave Uranus only 3 stars as the Uranus moon pics were good and some info, but the rest of the book offered me very little. Will hold on to this book till I can afford a more detailed book on Uranus and then give Uranus to my nephew so his mom can show the pictures and read to him.
If you want a kids book to show and read to your child buy Uranus. Its an OK book for a beginner to get interested on the suject. However if you want more meat and potatoes for reference this is not the book. If you want a more detailed reference book with good pictures save your money and get a better book.
