Semi-auto, as Feynman told stories to his drumming buddy, Ralph
Leighton, who wrote them down. And not quite a biography, as it only
hits the highlights of his life that Feynman thought made good stories ...

... nevertheless, I completely agree with your recommendation. A great
read. I also very much enjoyed the second book, "What Do You Care What
Other People Think?"
The third one, told in Leighton's own voice, about Feynman's quest for
the throat singers of Tuva while dying, I found boring and didn't
finish. I wanted so badly for there to be another great one ...
