This was an interesting book, but I definitely don't agree with the reviewer that said it “reads like a fine novel.” But it was a good biography, and I feel like I have a better understanding of schizophrenia and an appreciation for Nash's beautiful mind. Now I need to re-watch the movie!
The writing was pretty good, but there were many discurses that didn't add much, such as various topics of mental health. Also, I would have liked some detail on the mathematics. Nash was not really a nice person; I'm amazed at how many good friends he had.
