Great stories about people with brain diseases! October 10, 2008 I had to read chapters of this book for a cognitive neuroscience class, but everywhere this book went, people had to look at it and read it. It's so interesting, it reads really fast, and you really can read it in pieces as I did. In fact, a lot of the chapters gets a bit repetitive, so I tended to skip around. Still, you get a really good feel for the patients and their experience, and what that may tell us about how the brain works. Fascinating!!
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!

Wonderful book! July 20, 2008 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.
