- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Interesting play about Richard Feynman life. Its a spotlight in some of his more personal moments in life and his relationship with his parents, his first wife and some of his mentors. And interesting audiobook, no doubts.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A play about Richard Feynman that is as non-linear as Feynman himself, moving back and forth through time and space, demonstrating the irreverence of the great physicist for everything but truth and knowledge. Feynman cracks jokes, flirts with girls, and explains bits and pieces of quantum electrodynamics (QED)., but not much of the physics. The play focuses on his work on the Challenger disaster, but takes a detour through his childhood to introduce us to this eccentric character. A decent job; the playwright doesn't make the mistake of thinking he's more clever than Feynman, and uses a lot of Feynman's own words to allow him to speak for himself.
