The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe

Being a studying theoretical physicist, I can respect Hawking's views greatly. In here, he does his best to summarize the Universe, and does so with flying colors, and in vivid detail. I would certainly recommend this audiobook to anyone who wants to discover the Universe and how it came to be. Hawking does so beautifully.

While listening to this I kept thinking I had accidentally restarted A Brief History of Time. They share quite a lot of identical material.

Good content, but directly out of his other books. Not much original content. Two of the chapters are direct copies of Brief History!!!

Reads like "A Theory of Narcissism." No wonder Steven Hawking is twice divorced...

Good Technical Information

Nice Narration

This book was an excellent collection of lectures at the time it was written, but major new discoveries since then have changed the state of knowledge. Of specific importance, it was not known at that time that the universe's expansion is actually accelerating. This discovery of this unknown expansionary force (labelled "Dark Energy") has changed much of the cosmological landscape Hawking discusses in this book.

It is still interesting as an historical viewpoint, but could be improved by having some recognition that it is out of date in the description or added as an afterword.

The reading is truly excellent. A very lively and textured narration that really brings to life Hawking's personality.

This is an edited, dumbed down, and more boring version of "A Brief History of Time". Pass on this one.

it was ready interesting and well performed, I am just too stupid to understand it all.

This book makes me appreciate the work of scientists and appreciate the era we live in.

No wasted words. Clear. If only college physics professors would refine their lectures to this level.

Provided a very interesting view of the universe and physics. I quite enjoyed Hawking's explanation on these subjects.
