Title: Wanted to love it but its poorly written.
Product review: I read lots of these kinds of books by neuroscientists. I expect books like this to hold my attention. This one is so poorly written, I can hardly finish it. Sentences are not tight enough, the subjects keep shifting all over the place, the thesis is lost in the extraneous information. It's frustrating to not be sure if he's hiding the ball, waiting to reveal what was Descarte's Error or if he has already revealed it and is going to simply further drive home the point at the end. That should say it all, if you're not sure he's actually revealed what was Descarte's Error after he has actually hinted at it several times. Far from being too scientific, his writing style seems rambling. He might have great ideas, but he's not the best writer.
