    nice book

    this is a nice book but difficult to understand even by someone with a "physics" background so i prefer reading books like "a brief history of time" and "the grand design"(also by stephen w. hawking) and if are able to understand them then try this one.

    Good one

    The book is a sum up of good presentation and illustration. This book is my second buy after "The grand design" by the same author. Im especially impressed and fascinated after reading the chapter on time travel. However the book still leaves me with enough questions on certain aspects of physics. In nutshell, the book is a good buy though not the best from Stephen.

    A must read.

    I simply loved the book. The way Mr. Hawking explains the intricacies of the quantum level universe while taking a stab at the macro level relativity concepts is unique. p-brane theories, string theories. Given that the book is not for people not involved with Physics, but for those who are, this book is easily one of the best in the market.
