The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking

This could have been boring and uneventful as the science text book that we have at school, or as long winded and confusing as me giving a lecture about sting theory during wood shop, but it isn't. This book was written by one of the greatest theoretical physicists and astrophysicists of this modern day and age. I am able to find this book extremely interesting as Hawking uses his writing style and put it in colloquial language that even a 6th grader could understand (although there are some terms in there that many would not understand such as "supersymetry"). This book is however aimed at a slightly higher age group, being 9th to 12th graders in physics classes. It was easy for me to understand as I have touched on most of these subjects such as: entropy, probability waves, string theory, inflation, ect. It does have many controversial points to it though, such as the multiverse theory. Hawking is able to make his readers interested in the subject by his humoristic writing style, and everyday examples of "hard to explain otherwise my brain will explode" ideas. Overall, a very good read. I will be reading a similar book called Fabric of the Universe. Even if you are completely uninterested by any of this stuff, read it, it might just boost your IQ by a few points and open you up to a completely different universe to the one we know.
