The author George Johnson has written a biography of Gell-Mann, "Strange Beauty: Murray Gell-Mann, and the Revolution in 20th-Century Physics" (1999), which was shortlisted for the Royal Society Book Prize. Gell-Mann himself criticized "Strange Beauty" for some inaccuracies, with one interviewer reporting him wincing at the mention of it. In a review in the Caltech magazine "Engineering & Science," Gell-Mann's colleague, the physicist David Goodstein, wrote: "I don't envy Murray the weird experience of reading so penetrating and perceptive a biography of himself. . . . George Johnson has written a fine biography of this important and complex man." Physicist and Nobel laureate Philip Anderson, called the book "a masterpiece of scientific explication for the layman" and a "must read" in a review for the "Times Higher Education Supplement" and in his chapter on Gell-Mann from a 2011 book. Sheldon Lee Glashow, another Nobel laureate, gave "Strange Beauty" a generally positive review while noting some inaccuracies, and physicist and science historian Silvan S. Schweber called the book "an elegant biography of one of the outstanding theorists of the twentieth century" though he noted that Johnson did not go into depth about Gell-Mann's work with military-industrial organizations like the Institute for Defense Analyses. Johnson has written that Gell-Mann was a perfectionist and that "The Quark and the Jaguar" was consequently submitted late and incomplete. In an item on Edge.org, Johnson described the back story of his relationship with Gell-Mann and noted that an errata sheet appears on the biography's webpage. Gell-Mann's one-time Caltech associate Stephen Wolfram called Johnson's book "a very good biography of Murray, which Murray hated". Wolfram also wrote that Gell-Mann thought the writing of "The Quark and the Jaguar" to be responsible for a heart attack he (Gell-Mann) had had.
