I have not been able to find many books that made me think and feel the way this one did. Mr. Feynman seems to state everything very clearly and precisely, and I am trying to do that here, for honesty. I got this book because I had watched Mr. Feynman's lectures on "The Character of Physical Law" and liked the clever and simple way he spoke and explained physics. Well, in this book, he explains many things, and how he learned them. This is even more interesting to read. He really had some amazing adventures, and you get a lot of them in this book. His friend composed another one entitled "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" If you find World War II interesting, or physics, or just neat things in general, you could buy far worse books than this one. I guarantee it will change your life, just by the experience of reading it.
