A friend of mine bought the book "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene and he's raving about it. Of course, he's usually stark raving 😉 so I thought I'd get another opinion first. Anyone here read it? Any good?

I've read it. Really good if you're non-mathematically inclined... or is that mathematically declined? Recommended.
Edit: Sorry, I've read Brian Greene's The Fabric of the Cosmos not The Elegant Universe.
I am now the proud owner of a paperback edition of "The Elegant Universe". I can't wait to spend the next month reading short snippets on the subway and on the crapper, and tossing out half-baked physics trivia cobbled together from my faulty memories at my local watering hole.
To the rest of you knuckleheads who chimed in, thanks for nothing!
EDIT: rbmorris and Pawn Queen, yous guys is a'right. I'm speaking only to the knuckleheads.
