Really interesting presentation of different neurological conditions, if quite unstructured at times. Some of the language felt fairly dated, but overall I loved the positivism of the author and would definitely like to read more from him.
This book is truly enthralling. I enjoyed it very much. It tells stories of people who we wouldn't imagine they even exist. But .. I have to admit that at some point I felt really bored!Nevertheless, it is definitely worth reading.
Too bad there's no bittersweet emoji. (And ironic that a website that dedicates itself to the discussion of books would want us to distill our ideas about a thing made of many words to a little yellow circle. Aren't we all here to avoid this?) Anyway. This is Oliver Sacks love letter to the worl...
I only took off a star because I'm not a doctor and don't know what all of the medical terms mean, which meant that a lot of the value of the book was gone for me. Nevermind.

This book is an anthology made of four parts, each delving into a specific area of neurology that is seldom viewed and reviewed. I adore this book.

I picked this up at a railway station, shortly after it was published, not quite knowing what to expect.All these years later, I remember it well. It was my first introduction to all sorts of conditions that are now more widely known to the general public, and left me amazed at the power and quirks ...
I was really excited about this one, how could you not be with a title like that? However, though it had some interesting parts, I found it dry for the most part. It was such a short book but it took ages to read it.
