This is by far the best book I have "read" so far.

It is accesible even for those who don't know what to expect.
It will take you on a journey of hundreds of years science at high level

very good.
Must have been difficult to do this performance. Respect!

Well, there were some chapters that were too technical; where Brian just drifted of to lonely hights leaving us (simple beings) far behind.

Up to his next one....

All I must say before I continue is that this is, in my opinion, a bit of intermediate book. Myself, being at or above this level, will continue with my review.

Brian Greene, a pioneer on the road to figuring out the insanely complex String Theory (or M Theory, rather), describes the issues as current, and on the horizon. Indeed he also sets the stage by explaining what was discovered to have led to our current level of understanding. Doesn't misunderstand me, Greene does a great job at relating String Theory to the audience, but String Theory is a bit too complex to explain simply. Anyone else thinking of Einstein's quote right now?

"If you cannot explain something simply, you do not fully understand it."

Being that String Theory's complex and can (probably) never be proven as valid, we can safely say no one understands it. We barely conquered (if that is even an appropriate use of the word) quantum mechanics. String Theory is a bit immature, but Brian Greene does a great job at getting our feet wet and explaining the difficulties behind the formulation of a such a complex and unifying theory of everything.

The content is deep, yet made approachable. I appreciated the human stories that went along with the development of Super String theory. Brian Green has that deep understanding of his material that also translates well into being able to describe it for the uninitiated.

He did a fine job.

When Green is describing the Fall he spends at the IAS in Princeton, you get a real sense of the struggle and human side of the complex material. That is the most moving piece.

Explanation of string theory and it's consequences for physics

Brief History of Time

No

The foreword by the Author thrilled me as it set the stage for what I was about to learn

As a non-physicist, it can be intimidating to attempt to grapple with modern theoretical physics. However, Brian Greene makes the edges of this developing pursuit understandable to those who wish to learn about it. I'm considering listening to it twice, both for pleasure and to have a second pass to more deeply understand the amazing consequences of this field.

This and Greene's other book THE FABRIC OF THE COSMOS are almost masterpieces. To be able to convey such complex ideas so succesfuly is a triumph. Others have tried to ride the wave created by his books but they dont compare. PBS has made big specials out of both these books which says alot. See my other review on cosmos

After seeing/hearing Brian Greene on several shows and being impressed how easily he explained the science topics, I was looking forward to his book, even tho it costs twice as much as other books.
This book is difficult scientific material, not easy reading, not enjoyable like Mr. Greene is in person.

The book was well written and exciting to hear!! The narrator is amazing! I have found one of my callings in life because of this book!!! Because of audible I had the chance to"read" it! I am a medical student and work also! I haven't time for reading other than school related which is a lot!!! But during my down time I fill it with the audio books amazing!!Also price is great! Also amazing! The sound is Crystal clear! now I realize what a gift it has become in my hectic life! Lastly of course some books I must read on my own in a more intimate context! But on the whole there are about 10 percent more audio than paper or kindle! Thank you!!!!#

Getting it! Really understanding this former mythical language I thought only a tiny percent could. He brought it to a comfortable level then took off to a level quantum physics students would enjoy or know some of. The equations made sense! Now I can not get enough! I am going to take a class or two this summer!

My personal lecturer! A kind and gentle yet knowledgeable voice! It's not just a book but a lesson! He is amazing!

As stated before an epiphany!

Very happy I discovered and gave it a try and put my ignorance at rest! Thinking only for the lazy or blind! That flew out the window asap!
