Here is what people are saying about the A Short History of Nearly Everything
4 Star Rating  "Layperson's View of Universe"2009-10-07
- Reviewed By User: A3ABTQ6LNCDKOH
This is an eye-opener for the layperson not shooled in cosmology, astronomy and particle physics. By using helpful analogies, the author unlocks much recent research in these areas for lay appreciation. However, in the latter part of the book, he bogs down in detail. All in all, though, it's a worthwhile read.
 
4 Star Rating  "Snuggle up to Uncle Bill while he takes you on a fascinating journey"2009-09-30
- Reviewed By User: AXPCPKHEUPCYM
Absolutely fascinating, hard to understand information digested and delivered in the most dry, sardonic and hilarious way. Its like have a cup of tea and a big chat about inherrantly interesting stuff with your twinkle in the eye, nerdy great uncle. I had never read Bill Bryson before and now I worship the man. I'm keen to read it again.
 
5 Star Rating  "A BOOK ABOUT SCIENCE WRITTEN FOR THE NON-SCIENTIST"2009-09-29
- Reviewed By User: A2I1O94YTA2FMV
Never, ever would it occur to me to walk into a bookstore and say, "Gee, I think I'll buy a book about physics, protons, and the origin of the universe." But because Bill Bryson wrote this, I bought it as soon as it was released. Not only does he explain incredibly complex and obscure subjects so that an ordinary non-scientist reader can grasp them, he does so with humor. Moreover, he interjects the human element into these subjects - the jealousy and rivalry between scientists and how those petty battles affected research and eventual outcomes.

I can't say I totally understood everything - some of it was just too abstract. But one thing I do recall that made an impression: you know that fuzzy screen on your TV when you come to a "dead air" channel, with the ensuing noise? Some of that is coming from the furthest reaches of the universe. I loved that.

 
4 Star Rating  "A fun Read"2009-09-24
- Reviewed By User: A3U8CMPPKOXKQ0
I really enjoyed this book. I found myself sharing funny stories about scientists with my friends.
FYI-the pages at the top of the book in the back were stuck together. I had to tear them apart to turn the pages. It kindof slows things down a little.
 
5 Star Rating  "Finished it!"2009-09-24
- Reviewed By User: A2LTYX70ZJK402
And loved every bit of it.
This is Bill Bryson at the top of his form, journalistic in style but always down to earth and comprehensible, Bryson takes us on a tour of the grand concepts, seemingly unafraid of the task he set for himself. And what a story, from the Big Bang to the end of the universe (possibly) he name-checks the people who made the discoveries and sets them in their context. He reviews the grand theories and tells some of the small personal stories behind them. At well over 400 pages it's not a book to rush through, but take the time and you'll be repaid with a notion of the wonder of it all.
 
4 Star Rating  "Good 2"2009-09-10

This book took longer to arrive than other purchases, but it met my expetations. It was a good experience.
