OK, it is not often I will write a icky review but there is hope on this one since I did receive an advance uncorrected proof. So with that being said, here goes.
Started off pretty normal for a story being told like this one but from the second chapter on I just wanted to and pretty much did roll my eyes at the amount of clinical and medical terminology this guy throws around. I wanted to read about how he dealt with and used the information about his brain scan not try and understand a 7th year neuro brain class.
I must admit I did skim a couple of chapters to see if the story/tech book came back to the storyline indicated. The last couple of chapters did get back on track somewhat but the medical terminology continues to drown the message he is trying to share.
This is a great story, I just hope that the powers that be can help clean it up and tech it down enough that the story can become interesting again.
Final note: If you are a doctor, med student or anyone else with an extensive background in neuro terms, this is your kinda book. Does limit the readers though.
