Alien Earths: The New Science of Planet Hunting in the Cosmos by Lisa Kaltenegger
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have no real complaints about this book, assuming all you're looking for is a decent, surface-skimming book on planets, their formation, and a decent amount of info on theoretical and discovered exoplanets out out there, then this is pretty much perfect for you.
Don't expect anything but a light survey on the level of a short documentary, but do expect something on that level.
While I didn't mind it, I personally wanted a lot more meat. Or rather, dirt, gas, and starshine. But we can't always get what we want, alas.
