Not only was Feynman a not-so-long-ago genius, he was a student, teacher, husband, and concerned American. His work on the Manhattan Project and the Space Shuttle disaster were both monumental. This biography sums it all up in a fun to read style with wonderful illustrations to boot.

I have a copy of this to give away to a secondary school. I’ll give it to the school of the first person to leave a comment on this post.
I read a book he wrote years ago. I found him warm and humorous and brilliant. We would love to have this book in our library!
Great, it’s yours!
I absolutely devoured this book when I got it. I love Feynman’s mind. But when I opened it I started laughing because I hadn’t realized it was in graphic novel form. The kids see me reading it and think I am reading a comic book – so funny. I am hoping I can get some of them to read it just because of the style and maybe fall in love with physics and puzzles and travel and all the other things Feynman can wake us up to. Brilliant! Thank you so much for the copy.
