I am victorious!!! which is to say, I read the whole thing (except the notes etc). for a book about string theory it was very easy to read, which is to say it took me at least 5 times longer than most books. I especially slowed down in the middle when he's actually describing string theory.
the quote that describes the whole book from p 285: But don't worry. The really hard work has already been done by string theorists and we will content ourselves here with explaining their results.
I wanted more and have no doubt that it's already out of date but it was great.

It started off strong, but it got way too techincal at the end for a non-scientist.

I may need more background education to be able to fully comprehend some of the information in this book. I may try to reread it again later

one of my favorite writers of pop physics i’ve read. to be honest, i didn’t find myself completely compelled by string theory (time of publication perhaps) but really enjoyed the first and last parts of the book. the man is a WRITER

About 40% of the way through, it became too complicated to follow. Maybe I'm just too stupid. But the first 40% was entirely worth listening to.

Brian Greene has done an outstanding job in explaining the most complex areas of Physics in layman's terms.
