a good read

I enjoyed this book very much, even though I had no previous knowledge of hawking. I took a star off my rating because there are some passages in the book that I thought could have been omitted. I got very weary of hearing about EB White. I wanted more about Ms. MacDonald. The book is superbly written and for that reason alone should be read. It was moving and fascinating.
