Biographies about geniuses.... I cannot seem to get enough! I love them. However, this book is just terrible! I could not finish. Kanigel is just a dry, boring writer.

Saw the movie last weekend, and I wanted to know more. I am on hour two of the audiobook and am enjoying this. However, I cannot concentrate on verbal math equation examples (there has only been one so far) when I am driving. I'll have to pick up a print copy to see what I missed.
