It follows in the footsteps of "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", but it's not exactly a sequel. There are again some stories from his life - I was touched by the opening one on the sickness and death of his first wife, only briefly mentioned in the previous book - but here we have also personal letters, drawings, sketches, pictures.

Very interesting the chapters about his doings in the Challenger shuttle disaster inquiry.
