About this listen

Based on a series of lectures given at Cambridge University, The Theory of Everything presents the most complex concepts of physics—both past and present—in a clear and accessible manner. Stephen Hawking enlightens readers and exposes them to the rich history of scientific thought and the complexities of the universe in which we live.

Have enjoyed all of the books from Stephen Hawking, this one is fantastic, listen and learn but be prepared to have your mind shaken and filled with more questions.

S.H..Legend..Thank God for science LOL. Brilliant

Totally absorbing, relatively easy to understand, mostly! Have read three times now, beginning to sink in.

Genius

But on occasion, Michael York sounded like he needed a drink. You could hear his mouth moving. Was a little off putting.

The book itself I thoroughly enjoyed

This book repeats almost word for word his last book I listened to but was much shorter and still cost a credit.

I have a fair (by all means average) understanding of the concepts discussed however it was largely easy to follow and very interesting. Would recommend to anyone with an interest in physics, science and the universe!

More than I can understand

I didn't understand or follow all of the theories in the book, but have been able to get a layman's understanding. Needs concentration to follow the flow of the book. Not an easy read but extremely interesting.

There is a lot to know in the unknown. Now I know I know even less than before.

Brilliant!

this book makes things clear for the average Joe and with his usual humour

Profound

A very interesting and well structured audiobook. Perhaps owing to my basic understand of modern day physics, I found some chapters quite complex, but nonetheless I will be following it up with A Briefer History Of Time.

Interesting book, albeit at times complex.

Really interesting listening but at times lost me with theories. I did learn quite a bit & he was certainly a very clever man.

Good but hard going.
