Laugh-out-loud funny book about "the outrageous exploits of the world's most outspoken Nobel prizewinning scientist."
From book cover:
Woven with his scintillating views on science today, Feynman's astonishing life story is a combustible mixture of high inteligence, unlimited curiousity, eternal skepticism, and raging chutzpah.
"Feynman is legendary among his colleagues for his brilliance and eccentricity . . . it's hard not to smile all the way through."
-- Newsweek
"A storyteller in the tradition of Mark Twain." -- NYTimes Book Review

Hysterically funny, intelligent, interesting, remarkable person and book. Also a great book for any teenager, especially those interested in science or physics.
