I hafta agree with Mark Twain...I have no respect for someone who can only spell a word one way!

It isn't dumbed down so much as it's written in layman's terms. Most of Hawking's other works don't do that.

Indeed it is.bbcmicro said:Is it good?

I wouldn't say dumbed down, because most people haven't taken college level grammar and science.. Luckily I have taken several high level science and literature classes, thereofore Hawking's vocabulary is a bit easier to understand. I still have to sit and think really hard sometimes, and every now and then, I have to look a word up.

A Brief History of Time was a hard read for me. I understand the vocabulary, but some of the concepts are a bit too mind boggling.
