Goodreads removed my review which was the top rated review on this page. The reason was that I called attention to the animal abuse in the book and that which is conducted by Kandel. I even took the time to also gather and offer outside sources to back up what I was saying including Kandel's own publications where he causes pain and fear in mammals for his research interests. I will state again that I received this via goodreads give aways and twice now, the people most invested in defending the abuse of animals have flagged them for removal. I used to work in neuroscience myself but apparently, owning the book, reading the book, doing research on the author, having a degree in and working in the field, were all not enough in order for my review to be kept up. The animal testing machine is quite powerful, isn't it? Plenty of people found my review helpful. But, now it's no wonder that Kandel's books all have high stars despite many criticisms from many people.

I liked this book enough to keep listening through it. I didn't find certain subjects groundbreaking like schizophrenia because I've read p on schizophrenia and the stuff presenting in this text isn't really anything new. Other disorders, on the other hand, I have less knowledge of so reading through that kept interest.
