I would highly recommend my favorite science book: Black Holes and Time Warps
by Kip S. Thorne.  The thing I love about it is that it goes through the
theory, and the people behind the discoveries, without getting too heavily into
the math...  It explains things in a way that the layman can understand (trust
me...  i read it before entering high school), while still covering complex
topics in detail!  Much of it deals with black holes, while other parts deal
with crazy things like two twins holding hands through a wormhole while one
twin is travelling close to the speed of light, and the other is sitting at
home on earth...  
Just my 2c :)
