Its a good book which throws insights about string theory.First off all,sting theory has been hyped alot.The author throws insights whether string theory will be the greatest discovery or the greatest fall in physics.If it turns out true,the physicist studying this field will turn out to be the greatest heroes in science or the greatest losers in physics.

Excellent book.....Must read
