genderbandit 's review for:

An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks
4.25
funny informative reflective slow-paced

Some of the text is understandably dated at this point. Generally I loved Sack's writing and style, a good mix of scholarly but accessible, but I did find he had a tendency to repeat himself in terms of his musings about humanity and the nature of particular conditions, especially autism. Still, fascinating book and I plan to look for his others!
