A Beautiful Mind by Sylvia Nasar

. . .
John believed that he was being sent coded messages through his newspaper from aliens that only he could decipher and that he was the lone person that was going to save the universe. If it wasn’t for John’s love of his wife and mathematics he never would have been able to overcome the sickness that plagued his brain. If the story of the living legend John Nash isn’t interesting I don’t think anything is. Like when he was a child his father taught him how to fire a gun so when the Nazis came to take Virginia John could be the lone savior. John Nash beat the odds and recovered from schizophrenia he went to show that nothing is impossible. There were also other pieces of information that I found interesting like he had a illegitimate child with his mistress and had several romantic encounters with other males. John Nash was a mathematical genius who slipped into madness, recovered and came back to win the Nobel Piece Prize in 1994. I have also seen the movie and I would definitely say the book was better, like any movie there is just so little you can fit into a two hour film so you didn’t get to see all the factors that led up to Johns sickness. These were just some of the important facts about John that were not in the movie that made the book all that more interesting.
