A formidable undertaking written by an impressive personality of the modern times.
How does the universe work? Where did it originate from? What have black holes to do with it? This work is somewhat autobiograhical since Hawking was the one to push some of the subjects forward and provide a great deal of insight and perspective to some of the core questions. However, I did dislike his writing style from time to time. The topic is so complex that the attempt to make it accessible to the greater masses, as he describes it at the end, to simplify the rules so much that everyone without extensive knowledge could grasp and know the potential final principles that would describe the universe in its entirety, is a failure in this book. You do need a significant foundation that partially extents far beyond the current level tought in schools with only a weak attempt and some and far from all needed instances in which he tries to explain it in terms anyone could understand and still, does sometimes fail to do so. Overall, this is a great book. If you are interested in the current workings of the universe how we understand it and you possess the level of understanding that is needed to fully grasp the explanations in this book, this is a fantastic read. If you do, however, barely understand simple chemestry or orbit behavior you may find yourself lost.
* 3.5 / 5 stars. I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed it. It was informative and also entertaining, and quite realxing. However, in contrast to Carl Sagan's Cosmos, for me personally, it was lacking something. I know, it is around two hundred pages shorter than Sagan's book, but I wouldn't have minded it being longer if Hawking had added more personal thoughts to it. Nevertheless, it is great for people who love astronomy and want to dig a little deeper.
