Jim's Review

🐛
Hawking takes the most mind-bending concepts in physics — black holes, the Big Bang, the arrow of time — and explains them so clearly that even a bookworm can follow along. Jim's favorite part is how Hawking uses humor and analogy to make the incomprehensible feel almost intuitive. You won't understand everything (nobody does), but you'll come away with a genuine sense of wonder about the universe. Five worms — a true classic of popular science.
