This is my 2nd book out of the 130 books that I am reading for 2014.
There is a certain joy in reading the account of something from someone who was intricately involved with it. Science is not something that was very popular a few years back. It has gained greater following thanks to the internet, but Physics (and more so mathematics) is still an esoteric enigma that still confounds many a netizen.

I tried to read this book years ago and failed miserably. It was too much for me.
Hawking has tried really hard to make it easy for non-science people to read this book. He has avoided equations and math and just explained everything through words and diagrams. I encourage you to take up a reading partner who knows a bit of science and read it with them. The book has beautiful insights on life and the universe. You must not miss it. All the best!
I have this book on my to-read list this year. I hope I can understand it. I am not so good at science!
And agreed with Mrs. Julien. I love that picture. Look at his face!
Oh, he has written it well. You won’t find it too difficult to follow if you read slowly and give yourself time to grasp what he is trying to say. Also, if possible, take help from a friend with a physics background. Most people who know science will never refuse an audience. You can read with them if you find it difficult to grasp and that way, you will enjoy it too. Don’t miss it. It is a good good book!
