Summary: Decent, short book with color illustrations
Comment: Yeah, there is some interesting things in here. It is quite accessible to the lay reader like me. By the end though it is either too simplified or it is just a bunch of gobbleligook. I was left wondering, do people really believe this stuff? P-branes and super strings. Yeah, baby.

Summary: a more understanble approach for the layman
Comment: Hawking is the foremost physicist in the world, occupying the Newton chair at Oxford and he has attempted to explain in lay terms the complex mathematics underlying the structure of the universe. He is very helpful in a culture which pays so little attention to science

Summary: Concepts without the math
Comment: I thought this book was awesome. I never read the first one, but I couldn't putthis one down. Pretty understandable and perfect for those of us that should have been physics majors but did something else instead.

Comment: I haven't read "A Brief History of Time", but this book is written in a style that is easily understandable, even though the concepts discussed may be far beyond anything you might think about in your day-to-day life.
Definitely a five star read!
