I finally finished this book, which is definitely fantastic.

Why I said this? The first time I saw the title of this book, i got really interested but when I opened it, i really doubt whether I could finish it.

First of all, I HAVE LITTLE INTERESTED IN SCIENCE THINGS.

And I thought the idea this novel want to convey would be super hard and there would be lots of terminology in it.

Yet, I was totally wrong about this book.

When it comes to some main points, Stephen Hawking, the wrote of this novel, would use simple explanation and metaphor to make readers understand, which makes me more accessible and approachable to this book.


In this book, Stephen Hawking would go deeper into some question, like whether the earth is created by God, what's the origin of earth, Can we travel back to time, and etc.


I really recommend people to read this novel. The concept really tell me a lot and is quiet convinced and powerful. Because I'm not a native speaker, it's still a little hard for me to analyze my whole idea in English. Thus, I decided to give you some quotation from this book that I like a lot.


"We are also in danger of becoming culturally isolated and insular, and increasingly remote from where progress is being made. At the level of research, the exchange of people across borders enables skills to transfer more quickly and brings new people with different ideas, derived from their different backgrounds."
