juraaak 's review for:

An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks

4.0

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

I could’ve given it 5 stars for its readableness, however, the way autism was described gave me the ick. It is understandable that the information in the book is outdated by now but it was difficult to see the words such as “retardation” used to describe aspects of autism from the perspective of someone living 30 years after the book was written.
