"Feynman’s voice echoes raw and direct through these pages."
*James Gleick - New York Times Book Review*
"One final, welcome jolt from Mr. Feynman…There are a great many
things for all of us in this book."
*Peter Gorner - Chicago Tribune*
"There is nothing obtuse or difficult about [this] book. Indeed,
Feynman’s rendering of such a potentially complex subject as the
Challenger disaster is straightforward, lucid, and accessible."
*San Francisco Chronicle*
"One of the greatest minds of the twentieth century…[He] was also
stubborn, irreverent, playful, intensely curious and highly
original in practically everything he did."
*New York Review of Books*
"A gentler book [than “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman!”], and
for those interested in the man, a more substantial one."
*Bettyann Kevles - Los Angeles Times*
