I was hoping for more. The idea sounded good but it fell short in the telling.
I dont think the format was for me. The interview style of story telling felt clunky and awkward, having plot points thrown about so obviously, I never felt immersed in the story.
I was a mercifully quick and easy read though. Unless I stumble on the second book in a charity shop or something, I doubt I'll be continuing with the trilogy.
What else is there to say? Sacks is a Goat and always makes neuroscience an interesting, easy and accessible read.
This is the 2nd time I have tried to listen to this. I don't really understand why I can't stick with it because I have no doubt it's a good story. It's just a slog, 30hrs worth of slog and I just can't. My advice...just watch the show.
