Title: Not just a story of disease, but a story of humanity
Review: One of the best examples of medical and personal journalism, combining the author's riveting personal story of encountering Parkinson's with an interesting explanation of the disease itself -- its mechanisms and treatments -- that achieves the distinction of being rigorous and very accessible at the same time. Unlike many scientific-themed books of this sort, it provided sufficient detail and rigor to engage the intellect while remaining interesting, accessible, and easy to read. I could not put it down once I started it. I recommend it not just to those who might have a personal interest in the condition known as Parkinson's disease, but also those who have an interest in the human condition -- that is, everyone.
