I didn’t think the sequels lived up to its promise.

Amusing little sidenote: Just before it came out Hawking was interviewed by Time magazine and let loose this little bit.

“Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales,” says Hawking. “In the end, however, I did put in Einstein’s famous equation E = m c squared. I hope that this will not scare off half my potential readers.”
