I would Say That it is a interesting reading as it shows a great mathematician's view over what are mathematics (Their purpose, a bit of Their History and Their Implications in human society). HOWEVER, as He Was No discovering things along in mathematics and thought He Was on the decline mathematician de son's career When He Wrote That book, it is a bit disheartening Often. That I mean When reading the book, you frequently come to ask yourself WHETHER you really thing the right way for yourself (qui is not bad, but as I say a bit depressing), Especially if you do something to mathematics. (The reason I put three stars is not that I found it disheartening, it is intended Because I do not Consider It did a wonderful piece of work. It is interesting, but not many more, in my opinion.) (GH Hardy says it, he is not anything else than a mathematician, The Therefore, An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers might be a better way to explore the width of Hardy's greatness).
