Accessible but some less interesting bits
Sometimes easy to let your mind wander but on the whole very interesting and accessible even for someone who isn't a scientist

More reachable by us general folk than history of
More of an ideas book than a simple mathematical book for poor mathematicians this book covers a purely verbal overview of Hawkins ideas at around the end of the last centenary. It is therefore more accessible to non-physic researchers than the history of time

Read below
If you're into cosmology and theoretical physics then this book is for you. In my opinion this book gives an in-depth knowledge of these topics, which can be to difficult for someone with very nasic understanding of the universe. In my opinion, "Brief answers to the big questions" has everything this book has to offer, as l9ng as you're not looking for deep insight into cosmology and theoretical physics.

More difficult to follow than A Brief History of Time
This book seems to assume a good grasp of physics and quite frequently the opportunity to simplify the 'text' is passed up in favour of using the correct vocab rather than terms that are more readily understood by non-scientists. That said, I suspect 2nd and 3rd 'readings' would help with understanding the concepts.

Good to listen to.
Very interesting, a lot to wrap your head around, but it makes you want to look it up.

Super!
Amazingly insightful, full of facts and ideas that will blow your mind.
Although the concepts may be advanced, the description and explanation are put simply enough for everybody to understand.

Very good book questionable choice of narrator
The book itself was very interesting, but the narrator has some very odd pronunciations. In particular 'accurately' seems to be a struggle.
Also missing graphs and diagrams but that is to be expected with an audiobook.

What a story !
it's like reading a much deeper version of a NatGeo documentary, I can't pretend to understand everything described in this great book, but I surely enjoyed from beginning to the end and definitely recommend it.
