Title: Only a couple of chapters in...
Review: I've only read the first couple of chapters so far, but I find the writing style extremely irritating - I'll read the rest of the book, but I'm dreading what I'll find when (as I've read in these reviews) the writing deteriorates in the later chapters...It strikes me that Mullis is trying to be Richard Feynman, but failing miserably. The same ingredients are there (drumming/surfing, meeting important people and talking about unlikely topics, womanizing, getting into science as a kid, etc.), but whereas they make Feynman seem more human, Mullis comes off as self-centred and arrogant.
Is the review positive or negative?
