The Fabrics of the Cosmos: part 2

Having read the bulk of the book over the past few weeks, it has made me wonder, What book am I able to compare this to? It is interesting because there are few books like it. For one thing, it is certainly not a textbook; it is much more flowing and smooth, like Schumann's Piano Sonata No. 5. Also it covers more broad topics on particle theories, entropy, and the like. There is no plot so to speak, but it connects ideas through chapters like To Kill a Mockingbird. I find it to be one of those books that is long(at over 500 pages) and complicated but has very good writing and, not so much a plot, but more a flowing connection of ideas between different theories and celestial predictions. Even connecting String Theory and the Multiverse Theory is smooth as silk. This book is than comparable to a super-car, everything works and it goes brilliantly.
