The New York Times
[Sylvia Nasar] has written a biography of John Nash that reads like a fine novel.
Chicago Tribune
This dense, carefully researched work is also, unexpectedly, a poetical love and coming-of-age story.
New Scientist
Nash's life has been a remarkable mental journey. Nasar's first-rate biography describes that journey for us.
The Washington Post Book World
A fascinating overview of [Nash's] life and the intellectual history of his times...a wonderfully absorbing puzzle.
The New York Times Book Review
A Beautiful Mind tells a moving story and offers a remarkable look into the arcane world of mathematics and the tragedy of madness.
The Boston Globe
[A Beautiful Mind] might be compared to a Rembrandt portrait, filled with somber shadows and radiant light effects...superbly written and eminently fascinating...simply a beautiful book.
Business Week
A fascinating account of creativity barely under control, of a mathematical genius who was driven by -- and eventually overwhelmed by -- his own inner demons. A staggering feat of writing and reporting.
The New England Journal of Medicine
Nasar has written an intriguing account of a fascinating man, of a beautiful mind, and of terrible madness. She has also written a deeply moving love story, an account of the centrality of human relationships in a world of nightmare and genius.
The Wall Street Journal
After suffering with Mr. Nash's family through his madness, the reader greets his recovery -- and his ability to reforge a bond with his wife -- as a triumph... A Beautiful Mind is one of the few scholarly biographies I have encountered that could plausibly be described as a three-handkerchief read.
