Very enjoyable. The authors enthusiasm for the subject makes for a fun read, even if it was a bit too technical for me at times.

What a fascinating read about a possible end to our universe! While “fantastic” may be the wrong word, this book is about the end of all life.
The author wrote the book in a captivating and engaging manner, making complex astrophysical concepts accessible to anyone, regardless of their level of knowledge. Dr. Mack’s writing style is simple, clear, and humorous, which makes this non-fiction book an enjoyable read despite the somewhat grim topic.
Many people are interested in end-of-world theories, although they cannot be confirmed empirically. As a result, these are considered fascinating mind games rather than serious hypotheses.

Accessible (astro)physics with an interesting twist and a good sense of humour (and no equations)

i'm not doing this book justice by consuming it as an audiobook. i'll likely pick it up again in the future to read physically.

The End of Everything made me laugh out loud. Fascinating, scary and really surprisingly funny. …As you’d expect from cosmic doom, of course!
It was not the most accessible book about astrophysics, though. You will need a (very) basic understanding of things like spacetime and quantum gravity.
Mack’s enthousiasm was to die for. I wanna be friends with her.

I happened to read this concurrently with watching Leonard Susskind's Stanford lectures on cosmology. I found it to be an approachable companion. Susskind does the heavy lifting on the subjects of Hubble constant, inflation, expansion, and the vacuum decay.
