It would want to be much better than the mini series by the same title and narrated by Greene. Very uninsightful.
The Universe and Dr. Einstein by Lincoln Barnett is an oldie but a goodie. Easy to read and understand by non-specialists. I first read it while still in high school, and was my first introduction to relativity, and it absolutely blew me away. I had friends and family with zero physics knowledge read and enjoy it too. Highly recommended.
