This book was super interesting and informative! I think it gave a pretty good and understandable breakdown of black holes for the first 75% or so, but it did lose me once we got into the part about quantum entanglement. It does assume some basic understanding of physics, so if you've never taken a physics course or if it's been a long time, you may find this challenging. Overall, I enjoyed reading this, though it took me quite a while to finish because I just didn't find myself compelled to keep coming back to it.

Very readable and up-to-date. I especially appreciated the clear explanations of Penrose diagrams and their use to explain different types of black holes. The last three chapters, however, concerning the relationship between quantum entanglement and spacetime were something of a slog. I'd like to see another book that gave those topics a clearer treatment.
