I bought this book after watched the movie based on the same book.I like movies based on academic settings.The book arrived on time and in good shape.
Nasar is a good writer and she's obviously done her research. My problem was with the subject matter. In this book John Nash comes across as boring, creepy, and a bit of a jerk. Not the kind of person I care to read about.
This is an excellent book on parnoid schitzophrenia. First she deals with this illness with her husband,and then learns that her son has inherited the same illness. It gave me a better understanding of this illness. The wife, Alicia, in this book is just an outstanding person. I don't know how anyone could cope with all that she does. This book allows us to see deep into the mind of an individual who is so intelligent, yet so ill.
Was impressed by the speedy service, the book was in perfect condition. I am truly satisfied.
The book tells much more of the entire story of his life, good and bad. The movie makes him more likable, which is understandable.
