The brain is fascinating! Oliver Sacks has a down-to-earth writing style that makes this book readable and riveting. The only thing is that since it is an older book, the language is dated and would be offensive by today's standards. (Idiot, retarded, etc.) But again, those were terms used at that time. The people he studies are so interesting and some even lovable. There are things that happen to the brain that I didn't know were possible!
