Title: Disappointing
Product review: This book was recommended by my psychology professor and had been on my reading list for over a year. I was finally able to begin reading Dr. Sacks' book this summer. I was more than a little disappointed. The people who are depicted in these stories are reduced to one-dimensional caricatures. Dr. Sacks' tone at times is pompous, as though he was these patients' only hope. This was distasteful to me, and instead of highlighting the lives of his patients, he uses his book as a platform to outline his accomplishments.I almost never put down a book without reading it from cover to cover. This book was the rare exception. I would never want to be treated by Dr. Sacks for a neurological problem, and I couldn't recommend his books to anyone.
