While this book is filled with Oliver Sacks' trademark anecdotes and is at times engaging and even poignant, I found it a bit too long and repetitive and I was glad it was over by the time I finished it. It would have been served by leaving about 15% of it on the editor's floor. An interesting wrinkle in the burgeoning neuroscience genre.
