"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character by Richard P. FeynmanMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is one quirky book by Professor Richard Feynman who is a Nobel Prize winner in physics. It is a collection of anecdotes compiled into a book explaining the different facets in the life of the author. It is engaging and sometimes funny. The author is a genius as compared to other laymen, in the sense that he is multi-talented - a musician, painter and even a safe-cracker, to name a few of his talents. An easy read, the book does not elaborate the theories, equations and expert opinions of his subjects and at the same time explaining the science behind each of his interests.
However, a couple of chapters were outright boring (like the one on mathematics) and I could not grasp it. Sometimes it feels like the author is blowing his own trumpet and it does get a bit monotonous.
