My Thoughts
Hawking is known for his ability to explain in a simple and concise way terribly complex things. Once again, this is confirmed in this book. Indeed, Hawking was able to explain in a few pages things that would require entire books. And even if it doesn’t go into much detail, we get a good grasp of the subject.
Hawking is not only a brilliant scientist but also an exceptional teacher, and a good writer. His writing style is clear and concise, and he uses metaphors to help readers understand even the most complex concepts.
I appreciated Hawking’s sense of humor, which made reading and learning from the book a pleasure. Although I may not necessarily agree with all of his beliefs, I have a great deal of respect for his ideas and appreciate his open-minded approach to finding the truth.
It’s a book that will make you think and appreciate one of the greatest scientists of his generation.
