It is a grand book. Literally! it is quite demanding but it's really worth it! but don't get the wrong impression, the language is everyday so really everyone may experience pleasure from it. It's the great asset! There's not so many good books about supernovas, black holes and neutron stars written in such a way. And those graphics- they are truly stunning. I highly recommend it! Even if you don't have 'cosmic' background. It's intelligent, simple, informative. And all about science!
It isn't better than other book by Koontz but it was a good reading for sure! It's really surprising, while you're reading u don't know where the ending gonna take you. And it is exceptionally well written., the main characters were life like to me . i nearly felt as I'm one of them. Nice concept and interesting plot.
It's an excellent explanation of the universe and science, but it isn't easy to read. For non-mathematicians mind it will be a real challenge. It's not for a casual reader-those would appreciate Hawking's books.
