A must read for anyone. Especially today's generation. It will be difficult for most of the current generation, considering someone needs a vivid mind and visualisation power to enjoy this great novel to its fullest. And sadly that is rare in today's generation who have zero patient thanks to social media. But this book is immensely beneficial to have a calm mind. I still remember when I completed reading this book for the first time when I was 16 years old. This novel is having that power to take anyone to those days when life was slow but enriched. You could feel and enjoy every second of reading it.

A great read indeed!! And why not, explained by none other the 'The' Stephen Hawking.... More over, if you are an atheist and rational you will love this book... If you are a neutral person then surely it will increase you knowledge and understanding about universe ... And if you are huge believer of GOD and all those illogical, magical superstitions then surely this book can make you think twice ....

I would say, the book is quite average. Yes, if you don't have any idea about autism or especially Asperger's syndrome, and also if you have empathy and have interest to learn behavioral aspects of people with Autism, then surely you can learn a lot from the protagonist : Christopher from this book. Otherwise the story is very basic. moreover, The characterization of Christopher is not that perfect. I cannot say it's a must read!
