Total Addiction Reviews

From the book reviews:

The author manages to convey the utter glory of being in the path of totality for both herself and other eclipse chasers. I have seen several total eclipses and understand completely why the author feels the way she does. If you, as I do, find people who do not seem to understand when you try to explain, I suggest you buy this and read passages from it. (John Chuter, The Journal of the British Astronomical Association, britastro.org, December, 2014)
