Exoplanets

Author: Michael Summers and James Trefil
Stars: 1
Review by:MApgar

This fell into my old reliable 'if it has big print and pictures in an adult book it will probably be bad' rule. And it mostly was. On the back it says how 'readable' it is, which I take is code for 'written in a manner that an ill educated toddler could understand.' Concerned with planets outside our own solar system, that is a pretty decent premise, but it even has a chapter on a fake planet it makes up (!) and for an effort by Smithsonian Books this is indeed a very poorly written and presented one.
