Very interesting and well written
Such an interesting read for people interested in neurology or the quirks of the human body!

Fascinante
No lo he terminado de leer, pero no quiero terminarlo. Es una fascinante vista al mundo de la neurología puestas en palabras entendibles y desde un punto humano más que científico. Si buscas un libro que se enfoque en la parte científica este no es el adecuado.

Awesome read
A great mixture of bite size case histories that never the less somehow inform each other, all told with a humanistic and engaging tone. Just enough technical language mixed with amazing insights into how our minds are and what it all could mean.

Interesting cases, could’ve been shorter
Very interesting cases, but Sacks’ excessive use of em dashes was distracting. The book could have been much shorter without the redundant over-descriptions of how strange the case is or how the patient must feel—sometimes going on for two pages after the conclusion.

Medicinska ord.
Boken är på engelska och skriven av en neurolog.Kan vara svårt för en svensk att förstå alla medicinska termer på engelska.
