Title: What a disappointment!
Product review: Having read all of Dr. Sacks previous books, I was looking forward to an enthralling tale. But this book is so disjointed and rambling. It's all fluff and hardly any meat. It could have been expanded and written as four good books: one totally about the Island of the Colorblind; one totally about Cycads; one totally about the neurological disease bodig on Guam; and the final one containing all of Dr. Sacks' trivia about the Pacific Islands.Jumping back and forth between the story and the voluminous notes was irritating, and the notes, while interesting, were not especially necessary for the most part. The good doctor does not go as indepth as he has in his previous books and this is sorely missed.
