2017 Reading: A Beautiful Mind

#13 A book by or about a person who has a disability


There's a reason I studied English in college... I cannot math. At. All.

So, this book?

SUPER CONFUSING!

Also, if you have seen the movie and think it's a great story or whatever, then don't bother reading the book. Nothing is the same. Nothing. The movie might as well have been called something completely different and they should have changed the names. Part of me understands the need to create certain elements so that one can in some way at least a little bit understand what it's like with schizophrenia, but the rest of it? Nope. Just made up nonsense that has no bearing in the real story of what actually happened.

That being said, there were certain parts that were interesting to know about this person, but on the whole, I really didn't particularly care for this book. Most of it was all of the math and descriptions of things that had nothing to do with Nash (like the procedures of the Nobel committees, for example). The other part was how mad it made me that a movie was made seemingly by a person who never read the book or knew anything at all about Nash in the first place.

Hollywood.
