More like a summary...

I wish I would have paid attention to the running time of this "book". it was shorter than some podcasts and I'll bet it was written by AI.

Still, it did provide an overview of his life which was interesting. Wish there was a lot more detail. It almost seems crazy to compress the life of such a great man into something like an hour.

Excellent biography

Excellent but, all you ever really wanted to know about Stevphen Hawking! His is an example of a great life well lived in spite of his illness.
