The subject may be interesting, but the book lacks cohesion. Paragraphs are isolated islands, that don’t follow each other smoothly. Feels like bunch of articles and stories put together, without having a sense of more general wisdom.

Full of interesting facts about what we know and what we can't know. I think the heart of the book comes very near the end, when the author talks about a proposed revision of the justice system. I don't know that I agree with him, but it does sound logical. For the most part, I found it fascinating.
Fascinating, with a multitude of history woven in, and examples that really make you think. I enjoyed approx the first half better than the later chapters where he goes pretty in-depth making a case for how he thinks our justice system should treat criminals in regards to mental status. As the audiobook narrator, Eagleman himself does a wonderful job. I will be picking up his more recent books, but I'm glad I started with this one. Highly recommended.
