Review:

"These images capture with remarkable sensitivity the essence of Feynman's character. The comic-book picture somehow comes to life and speaks with the voice of the real Feynman." --Freeman Dyson, The New York Review of Books

"Spectacular." --The Horn Book, starred review

"...a penetrating and insightful biography" --Washington Independent Review of Books

"Challenging and thought-provoking" --VOYA review
