Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God—where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

I gotta say that I love this book a lot since it is very very good and really I personally cant get enough of Stephen Hawking’s books. Because Stephen hawking was a very very good author and he had the ability to make very heavy and difficult topics seem easy and understandable which you can see in his books.

This book talks about all the latest discoveries that have shaken the scientific world and it makes it very easy and simple to understand even thou it is speaking about black holes, quantum mechanics, principle of uncertainty, general relativity and other pretty heavy stuff. 

The writing style in this book is very good. It makes the whole book more interesting and much more simpler to understand when it talks about all the pretty heavy stuff which makes it to a book that everyone can read even thou it talks about black holes, general relativity and other science stuff.

I am a big fan of Stephen Hawking’s books so of course I needed to read this one. And after having read it am I love it and will recommend this book to anyone if I ever hear that someone says that things.

Stephen Hawking was recognized as one of the greatest minds of our time and a figure of inspiration after defying his ALS diagnosis at age twenty-one. He is known for both his breakthroughs in theoretical physics as well as his ability to make complex concepts accessible for all, and was beloved for his mischievous sense of humor. At the time of his death, Hawking was working on a final project: a book compiling his answers to the “big” questions that he was so often posed–questions that ranged beyond his academic field.

I gotta say that I truly love Stephen Hawking’s books since they talk about really big and difficult topics but the way Stephen Hawking explains them makes them seem very easy like everyone can understand them and enjoy his books about the pretty heavy topics.

This book gives us scientific answers to questions as “Is there a God?”,  “Is there other intelligent life in the universe? “, “ Is time travel possible?” and “Will artificial intelligence outsmart humans?”. And I gotta say that this book is really interesting because it doesn’t give us Stephen Hawking’s thoughts but rather answer from the scientific point of view which I really really loved a lot.

The writing style in this book is very good because its very easy to read and it makes the heavy topics really easy to understand which made me give this book some extra points for doing that and it really made me love this book much more than I already did.

This book is very interesting and enjoyable. During my time reading this book I was complete clued to it and I just couldn’t put this book away because I wanted to keep reading this book.

Alone in a Spartan black cockpit, test pilot Mike Melvill rocketed toward space. He had eighty seconds to exceed the speed of sound and begin the climb to a target no civilian pilot had ever reached. He might not make it back alive. If he did, he would make history as the world’s first commercial astronaut. The spectacle defied reason, the result of a competition dreamed up by entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, whose vision for a new race to space required small teams to do what only the world’s largest governments had done before.

As someone who is very interesting in space and space travel / exploration of course I had a lot of expectations for this book, which partly this book didn’t live up to.

I personally think that the book could have been at least 100 pages shorter than it was if it had skipped talking way too long about fancy dinners between the billionaires with space exploration companies like Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and others because I personally don’t care about their dinner parties.

I have also another issue with this book, and that issue is that this book would be way too much detailed about the first X-Prize and the people behind it. Which really I don’t care about it, let me instead get the spacecrafts and space travel action.

Other than that, this book was very good to read, it is very simple to read. It doesn’t go into a lot of details of space travel and rockets engineering which in my opinion it could and it would make it so much better than it was. 

While reading this book, you will understand how much research went into this book which really made me give this book some extra points. 

The writing style wasn’t the best here, but it was okay, it wasn’t the best nor the worst. 

This book has a lot of good information in it and some of the stories we get in this book are interesting.

However it wasn’t supper interesting which would make it hard to put down, to be very honest here it was very easy to put down. 

This book taken me couple of weeks to read because at times I wouldn’t read this book for few weeks because I didn’t have the urge to finish this book.

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in tasty chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.

I need to admit that this book has been laying on my shelves for 5 years before I actually got to read it. And now I finally have read it.

As the title of this book might suggest, this book is about astrophysics explained in nice, easy, simple and quick way. Which I loved a lot. 

The basic of astrophysics was very easily explained in this book, but at the same time it was explained in a very interesting and enjoyable way. And before I knew it I read this book in one sitting. Which really shows how well this book was done.

As you might know Neil deGrasse Tyson has a lot of books he have written, but this one was my first book by him. And after reading this book I need to say that I will be ordering the rest of his books of amazon after finishing this review.

You wont waist any time on this book because it so knowledgeable and you will learn a lot from this book even thou it has barely over 200 pages. 

And wishing those few pages he explains the entirety of space and time.

As you might know astrophysics is a very complex and huge topic which may take years to fully get the hang of it, and this book gives you a starting point in astrophysics.

Even thou this book is written in a easy and simple way it still is complicated stuff as you might expect from astrophysics.

The writing style in this book was very good. The writing style is what makes this book so interesting and enjoyable because its like Neil deGrasse Tyson knows what words to use to get your attention and get you interested in astrophysics.
