Some parts may be repetition if you know the Feynman lore well, but still this book will be worth the while just for the amazing illustrations it contains. There is not a single dull moment in the whole sequence of works. The book may seem a bit childish for grown ups, but I can assure you that you will have the time of your life with this exciting and wonderfully thought out and executed book. Every good Feynman story finds a place in this amazing book. It tells his story in full, right from his childhood in Far Rockaway to his life at CalTech, through the Nobel Prize in physics to the Columbia Space Shuttle disaster. This book describes the life of Feynman in around 260 pages full of very nice illustrations. For those of you, who are new to the idea of a graphic book, it is much like a comic book but which is a tad bit more serious. Not an ordinary book but it is rather a graphic biography titled Feynman written by Jim Ottaviani and illustrated by Leland Myrick. This week, I has the pleasure of reading a book which I have been wanting to read for a long time. I am no exception to this, and I consider myself a hard-core Feynmanist. There is perhaps not a single scientist who has not heard about the Feynman story and has been not inspired by that story. His contempt for authority and his love for physics are widely known everywhere in academia. So what made Feynman so special? Apart from the fact that he was one of the most original theoretical physicists the world has ever seen, Feynman was also a very fun character.

Such attention to one person, that too a scientist is rare. In fact, we decided to devote our first ever video on his life and works. There has been much written about him too. There has been many things told about Richard Philips Feynman, both in this website and in other platforms.
