Armamix reviewed Quantum Man : Richard Feynman's Life in Science by Lawrence M. Krauss

Lawrence M. Krauss: Quantum Man : Richard Feynman's Life in Science (EBook, Blackstone Pub)

Review of "Quantum Man : Richard Feynman's Life in Science" on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

A biography of Feynmans contributions to physics more than a biography of his life. This book requires some basic knowledge of physics to be interesting. Krauss writes well, but surprisingly I found his narration to be bland and somewhat boring. I've enjoyed listening to his lectures before, but here it sounds like he's not really all that interested. A little disappointing to be honest.

Review of 'Imago' on 'Storygraph'

This one was a bit slower and lacked a little bit of the sharpness of the previous two volumes. Still got plenty of food for though.

Read as part of a Scribd evaluation. Spooky and interesting, but just a little on the short side.

Armamix reviewed Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk

Review of 'Fight Club' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

Re-read. Good, but not as good as first time as it's probably too dependent on the one plot device.

Armamix reviewed Good Bones by Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood: Good Bones (2007, Virago)

Review of 'Good Bones' on 'Storygraph'

3 stars

A small collection of stories, mostly short. Some are funny, some are thoughtful and a few provoking, and then there are quite a few that I didn't get anything out of. I suspect others may feel the same, but pick different favourites.
