Should I read this ? - The Elegant Universe

So someone recently suggested that I read The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, and honestly it sounds really interesting ,all the stuff about space, string theory, dimensions, the universe, etc. The problem is… I have no idea if it’ll completely go over my head 😭

I’m 22, and my physics knowledge is basically just whatever I learned in high school….like Newtonian Mechanics and stuff , I’ve never studied physics beyond that, but I do enjoy science/philosophy-type books and learning about big ideas.

So I wanted to ask people who’ve actually read it:

Is it beginner-friendly?

Does Brian Greene explain things in a way that’s easy to grasp?

Or is it the kind of book where you need a strong physics/maths background to enjoy it?

Basically, would someone like me still be able to understand and appreciate it, or should I start with something simpler first?

Would love to hear your thoughts.
