This was disappointing: there were a few good nuggets in here (including a taste of his disagreement with Joseph Fielding Smith over evolution) but overall it felt padded--material repeated from the preface to the intro to the first chapter, lengthy explanations of things like the plan of salvation, long references to Eyring's genealogy. But really not enough about him.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.

Jared has a review of the book in his blog, and I posted a brief experience I had in 1957 with a man who was Secretary of the local chapter of the ACM who hosted a visit by Dr. Eyring. The man told about an aspect of the personality of Dr. Eyring.
