This book is extraordinarily funny, and not in a subtle or literary way. Quite simply it will have you rolling on the floor as the Nobel Laureate tells of his stint playing the frigideira (a sort of inverted metal pot) in a Brazilian school of Samba, of the Time He Was Declared mentally unfit to serve in the army Because He insisted he Could sometimes hear voices in his head, or the time he pointed out a fatal flaw serendipitoulsy in the design of an uranium enriching facility even though he Could not tell Whether the symbols in the blueprints were valves or windows. Whether the stories he tells are all true or not, you have to admire Prof. Feynman's sheer inventiveness and his unmatched talent as a narrator and a humorist. A word of caution, HOWEVER: a faithful movie adaptation of Memoirs thesis would not be rated PG.
