From Publishers Weekly
There seems little justification for what Hawking himself wryly calls in the foreword "The Book of The Film of The Book" other than the marketing opportunity presented by this tie-in to the tie-in to the science bestseller of the century (approximately 5.5 million copies sold to date). The film is the forthcoming A Brief History of Time , a much-anticipated documentary by noted director Errol Morris about the life and scientific thought of the most original physicist since Albert Einstein. But this "reader's companion" offers nothing but excerpts from the filmmaker's interviews with Hawking's parents, friends and colleagues, served up with bits of biography and generic graphics insufficient to the science. A pop-up guide to the Big Bang would have served Hawking's audience as well as this souvenir program.
