Bryan G wrote this review Monday, October 5 2009. ( reply | permalink ) Was this review helpful? Yes | No“I enjoyed reading this book for the most part. I'd recommend it to anyone with a good knowledge of physics because it can become confusing and difficult to understand when he talks a great deal about physics. Also, it was interesting learning about the author's life and the author not only talking about physics made it more interesting. Also, he wrote about his experience at Los Alamos when he first joined the nuclear bomb project. You could learn about what was going on at these meetings and what the author was feeling when this huge event was occurring. ”

It was about Richard Feynman's life and his experiences with physics. I felt that there was so much things in the book that was so hard to understand. It was basically a bunch of jargon so I couldn't understand half of the things that he was trying to tell us. But, there were some interesting things that Feynman talked about. He was extremely interested with how small things can become. He was talking about how in the future, computer chips can become microscopic almost. That was really weird to just think about. Some things were interesting to read about, but in general it's really just not my taste. ”

“This book is fine. But, I like his other book "Surely, you're joking Mr.Feynman" much better. The episodes in this book are too short to really appreciate his brilliance. I would strongly recommend the other one if you want to learn more about Feynman.”

“This is a sweet little beauty you can read over and over again. I enjoy everything Feynman wrote, but this one is a secret favorite!”

“Richard Feynman was one of the Manhattan Institute scientists, who also won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965. This is a great book, a collection of essays, reflecting on the lessons learned by a man who led a fascinating life.”
