Similarly to the first reflection I wrote couple of weeks ago, the book I’m writing about and is currently still reading about is the “Brief answers to the big questions” by Stephen Hawking. Up to now, I have read to page 150(about 4/5th) and is really close to finishing the book. Since this book or not a novel or a story like book, all it chapters are fact-based and focuses on individual ideas/concepts, so I would not anything has changed to an extent. Despite that, Hawking’s portray of information does somewhat changes as the book is slowly showing the basic branches of astrophysics and slowly letting the readers understand more of the concept. To clarify more, the book starts with more understandable facts, where later it builds upon the facts that were already explained to the reader to further show more complexed/advanced theorems.

The author’s use of language and structure is very special in this book, and to be honest this is one of five books I have read in my entire life of this kind. The whole book is very casual, although it is non-fiction fact book, Hawking talks in a very chill and calm voice, everything is informal and very verbalized. I am very thankful to have the chance to read this as not only it gives numerous information/theories told from a perspective of Hawking himself, but also provides comfortability and relaxation from all the serious reading I do at school. Like I have said, this book primarily talks about facts and knowledge in a calm and informal way, and each chapter has its own individual stories/concepts, such as :”How did it all begin?” and “What is inside a black hole?”. The author’s main message is to communicate facts/theories  through the perspective of himself.

I will read fiction on my next book!
