I listened to this audio book in the car and there is a good chance I'm knocking off a star simply because of the laconic reader. In anycase, the book presented a nice, quick overview of physics and how it's led us to where we are. It is unapologetically an treatise on atheism - and his points do have weight.

Overall, the science is well explained, the jokes are ... forced but the knowledge is sound and interesting however I didn't think there was any new ground covered or new thoughts added to the dialogs.
