Wonderful October 5, 2008
This is an amazing book. It completely changes a reader's perspective on the study and practice of Neurology. While not every observation may yet be backed by research, the way that Dr Sacks approaches a problem is unique and inspiring. Read it before you start your Neurology term to arouse curiosity in even the most mundane of clinic patients!

I bought this book years ago and I still think it's one of the best I ever read. It's a permanent part of my library.

Good July 15, 2008

While reading "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," I had the feeling I was reading a book written by a serious doctor who has the giddy sense of also being a writer. Sacks has a good hand at writing, more or less, until he steers into the circular quagmire of medical and philosophical notation. The case studies are fascinating, often eerie, tales of bodies and mental wiring gone mad. Less cheers for the medical explanations that dips too far into scientific minutiae.
