What FreebieAgent noticed
This is a legitimately free entry sweepstakes hosted by Goodreads for a book published by Random House. Farmelo is a respected science writer and physicist (senior research fellow at the Science Museum London), so the biography itself carries real credibility. The catch: only 50 copies for over 2,200 entrants, so odds are long, but your entry costs nothing and requires just a Goodreads account. It's a solid grab if you're into science biography or Hawking's story.
