Hawking: A Relentless Mind Behind the Cosmos

Telegraph’s review of Graham Farmelo’s Hawking: His Life and Work praises a measured portrait that blends Stephen Hawking’s towering scientific achievements with the personal toll of motor neurone disease, noting Farmelo’s use of family archives and Isobel Hawking’s blunt perspective. It presents Hawking as a determined project rather than a saint, touches on his controversial marriages and feuds, and positions the book as a strong addition to the Hawking canon, earning four stars.
