Richard Feynman is just about the closest thing I have to an idol: he was incredibly smart and inventive, but was always open to trying new things and just a fun guy to hang out with. Reading this book hasn't really changed my view of the man much. The only tarnish is that in his younger years, he could be kind of an asshole with his (in)famous pranks, and often comes across as uncomfortably sexist (I guess it was the '50s, though).

This is a fairly accessible book, though if you don't understand much of physics you'll probably want to read another of Feynman's books first, like Six Easy Pieces. It's not strictly necessary, since for the most part this book is just Feynman telling stories--and man, could he tell a story.

A good read! The book provides a glimpse into Feynman's brilliant (albeit eccentric) mind. I find myself picking up the book again and again to re-read short stories.

Pretty entertaining book about Richard Feynman.
Some funny stories about his life, he seems like a very dynamic character and I really like his approach to life. I don't share some of his interests but it was a lot of fun to just read him going through his life.

Intéressant mais pas autant que je pensais.

Amazing man, amazing true stories

Fantastic book, I absolutely loved it. The book is Feynman recalling interesting stories from his life, and they show how fascinating a character he was.

The complete collection of Feynman's stories, including Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman.

Danielle and I read this together. It was fun and I like more about Feynman as a person than I thought I would.

Sorry but this book is perfect :)

A. The second read was just as satisfying as the first...Professor Feynman was quite a curious character, one that more people should get to know!

Particularly appreciated the chapters about his experience on the committee investigating the NASA Challenger disaster and the early death of his young first wife.

One of the best Feynman books, a must-read!
