Notice that the unfavorable reviews come from astronomers and phycisists, and the glowing reviews come from those who this book is aimed at - the curious person who wants to understand the big bang theory and the field of astronomy. I learned a hell of a lot from this book, but what stands out most for me is how damn funny it is. Singh's humor reminded me of 'Everything is Illuminated' at times. I honestly laughed out loud at least a dozen times. To say this is the best science book I've ever read is an understatement, and though I am a bit disappointed by some of the factualy errors that others have pointed out, the bulk of the material is obviously correct and gave me - finally - a firm foundation of understanding of this branch of modern science.
