About a third of the way through this book (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Universe_in_a_Nutshell) - Hawking acknowledges this as a semi-repeat, semi-sequel to "A Brief History of Time" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Brief_History_of_Time) with more of a detailed story telling, instead of a fixed chronology. Some complaints he received about "A Brief History of Time" were that folks lost at an early chapter were unable to continue.
I expect to finish it today, as I have a long drive to Niagara Falls for a conference, which provides plenty of time to complete.
Update - finished about an hour into the trip - Hawking's books are all relatively short and this one in particular (along with Grand Design) lends itself to audiobook listening.
