Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

His success came from questioning conventional wisdom and marveling at mysteries that struck others as mundane.

Description
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.

Better narator and recording than other versions of this book.
Learned new stuff about black holes and time travelling.
A lot of times I found myself rewinding back so I can understnd the concepts, so its not an esy book if you want to understand it, even naively explained.

A wonderfull book full of knowledge
I've always been fascinated by the universe and been attracted to vulgarisations. However, it is the first time that the knowledge explained actually make sense, and does not looks like a summary or image to somewhat understand the laws of physics. A strong recommendation to anyone fascinated by physics.

I had been very reluctant to start reading the book, being afraid that the book would be hard to understand. It turned out to be quite entertaining. Mr. Hawking uses example vividly brings out his ideas through every day object. Making the untouchable so approachable and interesting.

I understood close to nothing in this book but learned a lot nevertheless (just don’t give me a test). It just added to my own personal development journey and maybe I should tackle it again a few years from now.
Hawking wants to understand the universe, I want to understand how some people get so clever.

Skittles
Listened to the audio book and went through every chapter twice. Still I kind of got the Skittles rainbow effect, super interesting and fascinating at first but then it soon just gets too much even though I'm not exactly new to the genre.
I liked it anyway. Hawking had an amazing mind and was able to bring complicated matters down to Earth.
Will definitely give this book another go in a few years time. Oh and also I can't believe this book is already as old as me.

A wonderful Insight into physics, even though I personally have no knowledge of physics at all. I listened right through and was thrilled by learning about gravity, time, atoms, particles, dimensions, velocity, boundaries, infinity, explanation models of the universe in past, present and future. Overwhelming, inspiring and full of knowledge I wouldn't have dared to try reading hadn't I been so impressed by the author .

Overall an interesting read!
It was interesting to learn about how much we have discovered about the universe and our ongoing quest for the ultimate understanding of the origin and the laws of universe. Some parts of the book were a bit difficult for me to understand since i am not a physicist, but mostly it was nicely explained that a person with high-school physics knowledge can follow.
