Rating: Summary: The final chapter of "Surely You must be Joking" Review: This book is more about Ralph than it is about Richard. But it gives us some insight as to what life was like living close to Dr. Feynman. He was a character and when he came up with going to Tuva how could you resist? Its so far fetched that it might just be possible for a couple of USA physicists to go to a place deep within the communist Soviet Union and make friends. Another great read in the series that starts in "Surely you must be joking." (BTW the first book is still the best of these 3. However I wanted to know more after reading each one so onward I treked.
Rating: Summary: Misleading, but Good Review: While I truly enjoyed the story, particularly the casual and engaging narrative of Leighton, the title was misleading. We are led to believe the book is about "Feynman's last journery", but the irreverant genius is only a secondary character. The story is truly a first-person narrative about Leighton's adventures in getting to Tuva. It is a good read, and I do recommend it, but not if you are looking for greater insight into the life or mind of Richard Feynman.
