A Brief History of Time Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I have to admit, there was much of this book-- a dumbed down/ popular overview of theoretical physics-- that I simply could not wrap my mind around, but it is well organized and certainly spurred my imagination. "

" It's really a moving story specially picturing the Universe around us... "

" This book took a lot of work to read. Don't get me wrong -- I love science. I am a scientist and I understand what Hawking is trying to explain but (and this is a big but) sometimes the book read smoothly and other times, well, other times were uneven. That is its fatal flaw -- the unevenness. If you look past that, it is a decent read. Overall, I am a nerd at heart so it worked for me and I learned a lot. "

" Forget about the physics they taught you in college, a great book "

" one to read again and again. "

" I loved the subject of Physics in high school and college, my favorite aspect was quantum physics and Mr. Hawking puts it all in a concise and understandable package. "

" Simplified but scientifically legit and interesting "

" I loved and followed his thinking and excitement of the universe and our place in it until just after black hole. Them he lost me. "

" This was the first time I began to understand the concept of relativity, that time is elastic, and why Einstein was considered such a mind blowing genius. Hawking is pretty bright, too. "

" Good start in learning the wonders of our universe. "

" Five stars because it was really interesting and I learned a lot. However, I don't think that I'm going to read it again. It is definitely worth at least one reading. "

" A great read! Very informative. "

" Read for a book group once upon a time. Fascinating to read of other's fascinations. The man, Stephen Hawking, fascinated me for a time. His life and journey and aptitude for assimilating the universe. "

" A book every physicist must read, as well as none physicists. "

" I have no idea if this book is good or not. I read it for astronomy and my professor reiterated through every step of the way. So, from what I understood of it, I liked it. The explaination of the big bang theory was enlightening and astounding. "

" its a great book.but it will be better if he included some basic equations. "

" At the beginning of the book, there were questions presented. These questions were forgotten until the conclusion, as which point they were simply mentioned again, but not answered. That indicates, to me, that the book failed in what it set out to do. "

" Outstanding yet incomplete. Can we really understand time while we are inside of it? "

" Very enjoyable book. Not overly technical yet Hawking manages to get the physics across to the reader. "

" Hawking really tried. He used some good analogies, and even humor, to approach complicated concepts. Even with that effort, I don't understand that much more than before I started. If the book wasn't famous and short, I would have given up. "

" I don't pretend to understand every word, but this is a well-written and interesting explanation of how the universe and microcosm work and how theories of both might be linked. I loved questions like, "Why do we remember the past but not the future?" and "If there is a creator, who made him?" "

" Solid intro for the layman to how the universe works. Hard to argue with that! "

" One of the best books I've ever read, somehow Stephen Hawking explains a ridiculously complicated subject in a way that people of normal intelligence can understand. "

" Clear and succinct without being dismissive or imprecise. "

" Its a common mans guide to the galaxy. Stephen Hawking's genius lies in his ability to turn theoretical physics into a coffee table book. "

" Good science book about cosmology targeted at layman people. Clear and understandable. It left me with more knowledge of time and universe. "

" I totally enjoyed this book and his writting. He is amazing to overcome his problems and still go on. I have read this twice and will read it again and again. "

" Slightly more understandable than the last book I read, but still, I'm a physics dummy. "

" It's not fair for me to rate this book because I read it when I was about 13. "

" I think this book should be read by everyone. "
