The Illustrated a Brief History of Time: Updated and Expanded Edition by Stephen Hawking
4.0
Much easier to read than Kip Thorne's [b:Black Holes and Time Warps|17362|Black Holes and Time Warps Einstein's Outrageous Legacy|Kip S. Thorne|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388289273s/17362.jpg|18929], but I found that it was helpful I was already familiar with most of the concepts and characters. This had been on my to-read list for a while but after watching Hawking's biopic-ish The Theory of Everything last week I decided to put it off no longer, and I was able to blow through pretty quickly. Not only is Stephen Hawking one of the most brilliant and well-known theoretical physicists and cosmologists of our time, he's a decent author and able to convey complicated theories in an easy-to-understand way. I read the updated and illustrated version, which was helpful in understanding the information presented.
I'm much more interested in relativity than quantum mechanics and this book has confirmed that.
