the fact that he set out to write a book explaining quantum physics and
relativity theory in a way that any layman can read , I think Brief History
of Time was extremely well written. Also keep in mind that thousands of
pages have been written on each of the topics he discusses... he was not
trying to explain anything in too much depth.

I see you had "charismatic" on the list in order to disqualify Hawking.

(Personally, I thought Brief History of Time was very poorly written and
doesn't really explain anything all that well.)
