The book is a bit heavy and is packed full of content. This is the basis for the Oppenheimer movie but contains much more material than what was depicted onscreen. Worth the price tag. It was packaged well with my other purchase from the same seller. It arrived within 3 days.

Only read a few bits so far, but some very poignant tales from his youth. A mammoth volume, so probably will read in phases. Second hand copy, but in excellent condition.

Difficult read, but a lot it you skip over and not lose the meaning.
30 August 2023

A lot of technical terms that the average person, even a college educated person would have difficulty understanding. I haven't finished reading the entire book yet but in depth into his personality.

Great book and cant wait to see the movie!! Oppenheimer was an amazing man who did so many great things and this was just an amazing book. Also for those curious it was printed in the USA!

More than I expected
28 June 2022

I have to admit that I have not been able to sink my teeth into it yet. I have been clipping off chapters, and it flows well and it is interesting. Probably put it into suitcase or back pack to read when I have the time. Life gets in the way. So far more information than I expected.

Oppenheimer
28 July 2023

Inspiring Christopher Nolan to direct the movie Oppenheimer, this is an excellent book that he derived from and you can see the details in the film. A must read for history enthusiasts and others interested.

remarkably detailed and well written. so much more than just the biography of oppenheimer but also a history of his time.
