The first chapter was interesting. It was more on Einstein. I was expecting better explanation of Einstein's Relativity theory in the second chapter. Instead he mentioned about it with some analogies, but didn't put forth a fool-proof rationale. May be that was the way Hawking had planned to pen this book. So I had to stop there and find another book which explains the theory. My previous post analyzes a book that I read for that purpose.
After resuming the book, could find the same problem again. The book is not covering theories in depth. Later I went through some of the reviews of the book and I could find that I am not alone. May be this book is not for me for NOW. I'll have to get a decent hold on the theories he mentioned in the first 2 chapters which are the foundation topics. One thing I am quite convinced that this book has the breadth. I am yet to figure out how to utilize that!
