It's so strange to find a book beloved by everyone else, and find it so disappointing. The more I kept listening to the audiobook, the more and more I kept getting annoyed at his false modesty and complete sense of disrespect for people that he made fun of. Maybe he was a charming, goofy guy in his personal life - and there's no question about his legacy in his professional life - but if the intent of this book was to show how down-to-earth, carefree and charming Dr. Feynman was, it had exactly the opposite effect on me.

ফাইনম্যান সাহেব লোকটা ফাইন। এইটা শুধু এই বইয়ের কনক্লুশান না, উনারে নিয়ে লেখা আরো কয়েকটা বইয়ের থেকে বলা যাইতে পারে। আড্ডা দেওয়া, প্র্যাংক করা, ডাউন-টু-আর্থ এবং সেলিব্রিটি হওয়ার পরও মোটামুটি এক্সেসিবল। নিজের যোগ্যতার ব্যাপারে তার অকপটতা ও প্রফেশনাল ইন্টিগ্রিটি চোখে পড়ার মত।

তবে চরিত্রের ভালো ভালো বিষয় এই বইয়ের বিষয় না, এগুলো জাস্ট সেকেন্ডারি অবজার্ভেশন। এই বইতে যেটা খুব ভালোভাবে পাওয়া যায় উইটি, গোঁয়াড়, কখনো কখনো হাঁদারাম ফাইনম্যানকে।
