An exquisite portrait...the rarest of literary achievements...Ramanujan's tale is the stuff of fable (LOS ANGELES TIMES)
an exciting and thoughtful book... should catch the imagination of any reader- even the reader with little mathematical background. (INDEPENDENT)
This is a fine example of a work of popularising mathematics, and deserves a wide readership. (NEW SCIENTIST)
Enthralling... one of the best scientific biographies I've ever seen. (John Gribbin)
