"Like other great men he invented himself" said Hardy about this Ramanujan boy. What a boy! (we must emphasize). Self-born, self-willed, self-directed unorthodox genius failing several times to fit in the norm. Ah, the norm! Ramanujan was an extreme fluctuation from it, reusing Kanigel words, possessing stunning originality. This biography is also full of insights on mathematical concepts; the fun here tends to infinity.

Fascinating. Written in too laborious of detail for my taste. Informative, entertaining and a remarkable character.
fun and inspiring history. The author went too deep into side stories but the root story of Ramanujan is great.
An enjoyable read about the Indian mathematician Ramanujan.
