review:

My Brief History by Stephen Hawking is exactly as the title implies. A short autobiography of the famous scientist told in his warm style. Included are personal photographs from his life that show him at all ages.



Chapter headings like Cambridge and Time Travel make it easy to tell what Mr. Hawking will be talking about. Chapters are about his personal life, but also discuss theories he has worked on. There is a chapter about the writing of the book A Brief History of Time. Stephen also discusses the problems with being famous and being in a wheelchair. The book finishes with an inspiring chapter on how to overcome limitations that you might have.



Most of the material and facts are known, but it's a good introduction to this amazing man and his work. Stephen's style of writing is good natured and friendly. I really enjoyed it.



I was given an review copy by Random House Publishing Group and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this book.
