Just be careful to not fall through a wormhole into a parallel universe. ?

@jeshuey i shall be as vigilant as possible

I bought that expecting something like "A Brief History of Time" or "The Universe in a Nutshell," but for string theory. I was severely disappointed. Brian Green's writing feels like he dumbs some things down too much, talks down to the reader, and is too invested in string theory being "right" to adequately consider the entirety of it.
To be fair, I am probably not the target audience.

@Drewesque Right. Definitely too smart for such an award winning book geared towards the layperson.

@LilAtheistLady Sorry if that seemed like an ego thing. I did not mean that I am too smart by any means. I am just someone who finds the concept interesting, but would have preferred a book that offered more of a critique of the theory. I had done some reading on the topic already, but most authors are either far too involved in the research to write an approachable book that addresses the strengths and limitations or they just dismiss string theory due to unprovable hypotheses. I had picked up the book hoping that it would include criticisms and address them. The closest he came to that was introducing the competing string theories and the attempt to consolidate them.
I far prefer Hawking's books, but their subject matter is slightly more practical, which may be part of my dislike. It is difficult to properly come up with engaging analogies for collapsed dimensions and a theory that is pretty much entirely mathematical. I may have had my hopes too high for "The Elegant Universe," as I found the ants on a hose analogy to be a rather strange way to approach it, and rather unhelpful.
I don't think I was the target audience because many loved it and because I was looking for something different. I tend to assume that many of the books I do not enjoy or get a lot from have targeted someone with different interests or styles.

Gotta give it to you ?
