Although it's been a while since I've read it and I can't remember all of it, this is a very interesting book. Hawking explains all the current theories in physics, from the big bang to present day. Personally I liked learning about black holes the most. They are abstract and hard to conceptualize - that makes them fun to think about!

Hawking really does have a gift for explaining physics in terms everyone can understand. Even if you are not interested in physics, this book about the universe we live in will fascinate you.
