I highly recommend this book. Sacks is a gifted comedic & scientific writer
This is a fantastic book. It is witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and worded mostly in layman's terms, while at the same time being scientifically accurate and relevant.
The stories are complex, and truly stranger than fiction, but Oliver Sacks explains their unbelievable neurological origins seamlessly throughout.
I have purchased and gifted this book several times. I have finally refused to give up my current copy, thus this was a gift purchase for a friend whom I thought would enjoy the tales and Sack's unique writing style.
We are both pleased with not only the content, but the condition of the volume.
