A Brief History of Time Review

Stephen Hawking is one notorious attention whore. He is always talking himself up about how he is just so smart, or how he is such a "playa". I think he really can talk and only uses the robotic voice on his fake wheelchair because he thinks it makes him sound sexy. The guy even has his own best selling video game out on store shelves right now.

He seems to be such a self centered person to me. He even made these posters and hung them all over the city.

So I would like to caution everybody to take a long hard look at who you think Stephen Hawking is, and ask yourself... Is he really as special as he seems to think he is??

Recently I read the book, A Brief History of Time, by Stephen Hawking. Let me first begin by saying that I find it simply amazing that Stephen Hawking has such an understanding of our solar system and black holes most notably amongst other subjects, considering his physical disability. I also find it very encouraging seeing someone who is wheel chair ridden able to grasp the attention of the world and gain respect through his expertise.

Onto the book, I found A Brief History of Time sort of hard to follow while I read it. I often found myself confused, and “Googling” most of the words that I read such as Quark, which is a hypothetical truly fundamental particle. I am however very happy that I stuck with the book, because I did learn some very interesting things about space anomalies, such as how black holes are formed and what they are capable of. In fact black holes are so powerful they can envelop entire planets at once thus making the size of the black hole even bigger.

In closing, I would recommend this book to anyone looking to expand his or her knowledge of deep space. I do feel that most space enthusiasts will find this book simply riveting. This is also a great book to read in school, since it is crammed with excellent information.
