COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Educational submitted by Xris on August 22, 2018, 5:13pm I decided to read it after I got word that he had died. A little tough to get through, since I don't have a physics background. I enjoyed reading his perspective, but didn't realize there would be so much about God in it. (I enjoyed Neil deGrasse Tyson's better).

Great Book submitted by Jawadb on July 7, 2019, 3:20pm Amazing read

Hawking wrote this for the general public submitted by tbbrown76 on July 15, 2019, 10:43pm But, even as a science major and amateur astronomer, I found much of it unreadable. He seems to be making stuff up it's so unreal and not understandable. Not really recommended for anybody who isn't a serious physics or astronomy major.
