Lemme save you almost 3 hrs. (spoilers!)
- Richard Feynman told tall tales about himself (and stories that have to be false)
- His biographer took these tales and wrote 2 pop books that make Feynman out to be more macho & misogynistic & an ass than he was in real life
- He wasn't as a bad as his macho persona, but he wasn't a perfect angel
- He was an academic whose tall tales/lies and biographer created a physics bro that never existed but is emulated by jerks.

Publishers should make it clear when a book is fiction or borderline fiction. I remember seeing the Feynman books on a shelf in every public library since forever. I didn't read them, as it turns out, for the better.
