Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole: A Renowned Neurologist Explains the Mystery and Drama of Brain Disease by Allan H. Ropper

2.0

Fine - lots of skipping around within chapters makes the cases difficult to follow - with seemingly tenuous links and comparisons between cases. Good if you want to hear about lots of interesting cases of what can happen when things go wrong in the brain, not so good if you want to learn about why. A lot of explainations about the management, co-ordination and interpersonal relationships of a specific ward, but lacking depth about neurological disorders and the research regarding them. Was hoping for a Sacks/Ramachandran-esque book and was a little disappointed.
