review 1: It is part autobiography part tour de jour of mathematics. Written with passion that is infectious, it takes the reader on a whirlwind tour of maths. It is hard to follow in parts without string background in Maths but it manages to amaze and inspire, which seemed to be the primary intent of the author. If you like Maths or like to read of people who love to do what they do, this book is a great read!
review 2: As a maths teacher I enjoy reading books by authors such as Ian Stewart and Paul Nahin. I had high hopes for this book which were disappointed somewhat. The account of the author's university application in Moscow is shocking and compelling, and I realised as I read further that I had no idea what modern pure mathematicians actually study, so it was inte... moreresting to read about the Langlands program. However I didn't find that the writer explained the mathematics well. I finished the book feeling that any understanding I had gained was very trivial. less
