This was a very challenging book. I put it down and read other things several times while working my way through it, not because it isn't interesting, but because sections would often get into very deep discussions on formal mathematics and mathematical logic that are beyond my understanding. The book is also structured oddly, not like a normal memoir, biography, or philosophical overview would be and this results in some sections that are exceedingly dry and technical. However, I am overall glad I read it, and it contains many fascinating details about Gödel and his life and work. Everything discussed here is at a depth and level of detail missing from most other accounts. This is not an introductory work, to say the least!
