Robin McKie, The Observer "...if your interest is in Feynman the physicist, it [Quantum Man] is an excellent place to start." Jon Turney, THE "...a sensitively drawn...portrait of this remarkable man." TLS "...entertaining and masterly. A great read." Brian Greene "...it is solid and a very useful addition to the Feynman canon." Popular Science "...an enlightening addition to the field." The Scotsman "The book absolutely bristles with other parts of physics for which RPF did something between laying the foundations and completing the structure, all explained at just the right level..." The Observatory
