To be honest even if it was rubbish I would still have wanted to read it, these are the last words of a great man. But it is was a good read anyway.
People who have given this a low review fall into 3 camps,
Firstly those that found a collection of disconnected articles. To be honest, they have a point, but it does say that in the description so it seems a bit unfair to criticise something for being what it claims to be. In any case, each one of the disconnected articles does stand up well, some are of course better than others, those on cosmology standout but the more speculative ones on aliens and AI are of course less authoritative but nevertheless, I am interested in what the great man has to say on them.
Secondly, some reviewers seem concerned that his celebrity status gives him more public credibility than his academic standing warrants. I have no idea if that has any merit or not, but either way, his academic credibility is high (he had the same position in Cambridge as Newton and Dirac). The fact that he was a man of great personal strength and a wonderful communicator in no way diminishes his intellectual greatness.
And thirdly a few people are unhappy with his non-scientific views, especially those on Brexit. Frankly, I think he has as much right to an opinion on those matters as anyone and a good deal more credibility than many politicians.
Thoroughly good read and thought-provoking.
