Title: Not worth the time or the money
Review: This slight book is part autobiography and part parasitism on the Feynman legend. If you know nothing about Feynman, start by watching a couple of the BBC videos of him, so you get a sense of his voice, accent, mannerisms, and infectious interest in science. Then, with that imprinted, read "Surely You're Joking, . . ." and after that move on to his "Lectures on Physics." You will then know enough to tackle his other available work. If you still have an appetite for the man behind the scientist, read Gleick's bio or the selection of his letters that his daughter edited. Mlodinow may have an interesting story to tell about his life, but not in this fashion.
