Industry Reviews
"The story of Nash's accomplishments and tribulations, as told by Nasar, makes fascinating reading. We are captivated by the conjunction of genius and madness."
Boston Book Review - Lucy Horwitz (03/19/1999)

"[This book] might be compared to a Rembrandt portrait, filled with somber shadows and radiant light effects, for it is the story of a dark madness illuminated by a man's genius....Nasar has delved deeply into Nash's year-by-year experiences. The detail does not weigh the story down though. Rather, her exhaustive research has been transformed into novelistic narrative....Superbly written and eminently fascinating, A BEAUTIFUL MIND is simply a beautiful book."
Boston Globe - Marcia Bartusiak (07/05/1999)

"This biography reads like a novel...."
Wired - Ivars Peterson (09/20/2000)

"Audio is a wonderful way to experience this story. Fields has a pleasing tone and veteran narrator Herrmann is good, too."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Sandy Bauers (03/17/2002)
