About this listen

 Essential listening for all those who want to understandthe universe in which we liveStephen Hawking is one of the most influential thinkers of our time, an intellectual icon, known not only for the adventurousness of his ideas but also for the clarity with which he expresses them. Seeking to uncover the holy grail of science: the elusive Theory of Everything that lies at the heart of the cosmos, Professor Hawking takes us the cutting edge of theoretical physics, where truth is often stranger than fiction, and explains in layman's terms the principles that control our universe.©2001 Stephen Hawking; (P)Random House Astronomy & Space Science Cosmology Physics Science Thought-Provoking Feel-Good

Very interesting, a lot to wrap your head around, but it makes you want to look it up.

Good to listen to.

This book seems to assume a good grasp of physics and quite frequently the opportunity to simplify the 'text' is passed up in favour of using the correct vocab rather than terms that are more readily understood by non-scientists. That said, I suspect 2nd and 3rd 'readings' would help with understanding the concepts.

More difficult to follow than A Brief History of Time

The book itself was very interesting, but the narrator has some very odd pronunciations. In particular 'accurately' seems to be a struggle.

Also missing graphs and diagrams but that is to be expected with an audiobook.

Very good book questionable choice of narrator

it's like reading a much deeper version of a NatGeo documentary, I can't pretend to understand everything described in this great book, but I surely enjoyed from beginning to the end and definitely recommend it.

What a story !
