inspiring
The first two parts of the book, contains the history of cosmology up to today. The third and most interesting part brings up the controversy of God in the creation of the universe. Kaku gives prospective of the top cosmologist as well as his view in the part. Also in this last part a very inspiring talk on mankind, where we are and where we are trying to go.
I found this book very informative and inspiring.

Great Science Book for Lay Readers
I am not a scientist; the last science class I took was freshman biology for non-majors. I enjoyed Simon Singh's Big Bang, however, and wanted to read more about emerging science and cosmology. I had watched The Universe on the History Channel, and thought I'd pick up one of Michio Kaku's book. I have quite enjoyed this detour into physics.

Kaku is masterful at explaining a broad array of concepts to the lay person. I have no background in science and was able to understand what he presented without having to re-read what Kaku wrote, which is an achievement.

I will forewarn readers: this is not a science vs. God book, despite the first line (and one or two pages in the middle of the book). It is instead a delightful treat into pure theorhetical physics.

illustrating and entretaining
The book gives a understandable review for the curious layman of the exciting ideas in cosmology and correlated areas , like string theory
it is spiced with personal details about the scientist involved

All over it is a exciting expirience and a highly recomended book

Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos
This book is actually to be a Christmas gift, so I haven't opened it. It arrived very quickly and in good condition. Thank you for expediting it.

Great Introduction for the layman
I truly enjoyed this book. It covers very profound subjects in a manner that the average layman can understand. With this book, I had to read it in small bites. Each page was packed to thought provoking ideas. After reading a little, I wanted to just sit, think and reflect. It is good book to read with others. The ideas need to be discussed to be absorbed.

I enjoyed the cosmology, the string theory, M-theory, and the standard model. I had heard about them but I never knew much about them. The author lets you know which areas are hotly debated in the science world. Most books about this subject have too much math for me to work through.

The ending was a little too much.
