I’ve always love Feynman’s style of explanations and this is no different. This book gives a general overview of how the process of doing physics works from the perspective of a truly great physicist.

Interestingly divulgative. Intriguing and as clear as it gets. I covet deeper and more complex explanations.
I have yet to read his lectures.

I liked the way the author explained the concepts in the book, but I just couldn't bring myself to finish it. My AP Physics teacher assigned me to read it after the AP test, so I didn't start it with a good mindset. I can see myself picking up this book sometime in the future to finish it because of the way Feynman talked about physics topics that I didn't really understand.

Overall this was pretty good. Some of it was hard to track with, which is I think the nature of the material. Feynman is a bit too common-sensey sometimes, but we need some of those people in physics.

An incredibly interesting book, that can widen your perspective of the universe. It requires a relatively small amount of math and physics knowledge to understand, as it focuses primarily on concepts, although it does include examples which utilize low-level physics calculations.

Fun series of lecture on physics, and whether to trust theory of experimental data.
