I love this book. Look no further for a memoir — especially if you are a total science human.

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman. A bestselling autobiography by one of the funniest physicists America ever produced.

science!. this is an amazing book that i would recommend to anyone with a love of science and humor. I was forced to pick a book about someone and i picked this one. highly recommended.

Really good book. Worth the money, I didn't know much about Feynman but he's really a likable guy who's made some important discoveries. A page turner for sure.

Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman. Pure Feynman! Rough edges with absolute intellectual honesty. A good way to get to know a very interesting human being and worth the time in measuring yourself against his criteria.

Bested. That is the best science book ever written I am going to read it over and over again awesome I will recommend it to everyone

I really wanted to like this book. I don’t know why I couldn’t see the humor in this book like everyone else. Many of the stories struck me as mean-spirited and pompous (sticking a waitress’ tips in upside-down cups of water…really?). The whole book is written from a perspective looking down on others. Even when a story is about his own mistakes (the pea slicing story, for example) it always comes back to “but I’m still way smarter than that guy and he should have let me try again, the dolt.” The butt of every joke is everyone else’s intelligence compared to his own. I think I’ll try to read it again in a few years and see if I’ve lightened up.

Great Read. Having been assigned this as required reading for AP Physics, I was not expecting the excellent story that I experienced. Not only did it have a lot of funny, interesting stories, but it also had some powerful insights into scientific practice that I hope to practice not only in my own studies, but also in the rest of my life. Verdict: Great book, should be required reading for everyone.
