This book isn't anything like the movie... although I must say I enjoyed the latter half much more compared to the initial half.

Out of the 300 books I own, 'A Beautiful Mind' stands out with its occasional repetition of 15-30 second passages. It can be quite annoying, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

The author seems to have spent an excessive amount of time discussing unrelated subjects, making it questionable whether knowing the complete history of Princeton University is necessary to comprehend John Nash's story. In each chapter, the word 'ostensibly' is repeated a staggering five times.

This book is interesting and a little bit of a history book. A good listen. A little dry once in a while.

I had seen the movie and really liked it, so I wasn't sure how much better the book could be. I was wrong! The book's much better. A lot more details. A lot more mathematical talk. You get a real feel for the depths to which the mental illness took him. How much it robbed him of his life, and us for what he might have done. Great book!

I have not seen the movie that was produced from this book, so I had no expectations about the story. I found Dr. Nash's life quite interesting, if not somewhat depressing. But what journey in and out of schizophrenia wouldn't be depressing? What amazed me was his spirit and will to continue living, despite the numerous hospitalizations and ongoing employment problems. Many people would have just drifted away, or committed suicide. His ex-wife should win a Nobel prize for her patience, understanding, and all the help she gave him over many decades. If you enjoy the "Charlie" character on the CBS hit series "Numbers," you will enjoy the technical mathematical and economics concepts presented in this book. Excellent story, and wonderful reader!

I loved this book. The John Nash of this book is not at all like the Ron Howard film version. A fascinating study of a brilliant, but disturbed mind. It's not the math, it's the person. But it is terrific to hear about Princeton's mathematics dept in the 50s. Very well read, too. Highly recommended.

It was informative to hear about mental diseases, however, if you read a lot of biographies you get tired of so-called geniuses and excentrics that are excused for their mental, emotional and/or physical abuses towards members of their family and John Nash is no exception. If you want a real genius, read anything from or about Richard Feynman

I had already seen the movie and really enjoyed it. The book was very different and sometimes hard to follow as it got into so much detail about the work Nash was performing. It is somewhat sad, with a happy ending. I found it less interesting than the movie.

I enjoyed the movie and I usually like the books much better so I thought I would give it a try. I couldn't finish it and had to send it back unread. The beginning of the book is so technical and contains so much mathematical theory that is is lost to anyone but another mathematician.
