A very interesting read, and Feynman has some great stories to tell. I find it very refreshing to have down to earth role models, who don’t involve themselves in all the fuss of maintaining appearances, and just do whatever the hell they feel like doing.

Unfortunately the book is a bit tainted because of the commentary on women and his relationships with them. No doubt this is because I’m having a modern outlook on things that were normal almost a century ago, but it makes it harder to find him likeable.
