I read a lot about it in other books yet they all explain it over the top and never with ellaborate reasons of why certain things happen?? Does anyone know of any good book about this subject???

Ive read the fabric of the cosmos.....nevertheless i do believe he only gives a brief explanation about quantum mechanics.... I would like something more in depth....

"The Elegant Universe" is about string theory, not quantum mechanics per se, although QM is in there since "strings" are an attempt to unite QM with Relativity.
It isn't clear what level you are looking for: a general discussion for nonscientists or an actual textbook? In any case, it will help to remember Richard Feynman's comment, "Don't worry if you don't understand quantum mechanics - nobody understands quantum mechanics."

Try Brian Greene, "The Elegant Universe" or "The Fabric of the Cosmos".
