Story
Hawking takes us on a fascinating journey through the telescopic lens of modern physics to gain a new glimpse of the universe--the nature of black holes, the space-time continuum, and new information about the origin of the universe. He uses this scientific basis to come up with a "unified theory of everything" that the author claims will be "the ultimate triumph of human reason."

Story
Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Was there a beginning of time? Could time run backwards? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries?
These are just some of the questions considered in the internationally acclaimed masterpiece by the world renowned physicist - generally considered to have been one of the world's greatest thinkers.
It begins by reviewing the great theories of the cosmos from Newton to Einstein, before delving into the secrets which still lie at the heart of space and time, from the Big Bang to black holes, via spiral galaxies and strong theory. To this day A Brief History of Time remains a staple of the scientific canon and its succinct and clear language continues to introduce millions to the universe and its wonders.
Critic Reviews
"This book marries a child's wonder to a genius's intellect. We journey into Hawking's universe while marvelling at his mind." (The Sunday Times)
"Lively and provocative.... Mr. Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher's gifts--easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life." (The New York Times)

Explore new dimensions
I enjoyed each and every theory especially the ones that were about black holes. By the end I have become a fan of Stephen Hawking and all the other scientist mentioned.

Some but not all
I'm an average guy who wants to know about the Universe. This book gave a lot of insight on that. But I'm also stating here that some chapters of this book were beyond my understanding like imagining quantum spin 1/2, 0, 1, 2 etc.
Still a great book.

A great book!
It was great but a little too dense for an audiobook . Need to follow it up by reading the paperback book to grasp the information efficiently.

Interesting read
Beautiful book with tons of information about our universe from a physicist's perspective.
Tough for non-physics person to follow completely.
The author touches upon a lot of different topics on Physics, Cosmology and Philosophy.
I enjoyed some of the discussions about the black holes and Space time continuum
