Immensely moving. A totally gripping read."

Intriguing. There are large questions here than the life of even this singular man.

The forces shaping the life of renowned physicist Hawking seem as strangely charged as those he describes in his physics. White and Gribbin ably fill in the spaces between his great leaps of theory.

Immensely moving. A totally gripping read.

White and Gribbin have produced a definitive biography of arguably the best-known cosmologist in the world. A fascinating story.
