I've read the book but got exactly the opposite impression.

Greene himself admits that String Theory is far from unifying QM, GR,
and SR. There is a lot of interesting hypothesising in the book, and
it is a great read indeed, but for the greatest part it is a well
organized collection of untested ideas. Worthy ideas I am sure, but
not past the test of falsifiability.
