Comet Sweeper: Caroline Herschel's Astronomical Ambiton Book

I was turned on to Caroline Herschel following reading The Age of Wonder, which gave a good account of her along with her brother. Brock's account might not have been as interesting without this background. Herschel grew up in a large family in the 18th century and overcame the stifling requirements and expectations of her family and her era to become a significant astronomer. Her life is an exciting story. Brock's account reads like an academic analysis of Herschel's life. I found it interesting but not a page turner. Her life deserves to be a page-turner account, it could make a great movie -- minus the customary romance.
