I quite enjoyed this. Sacks has a very engaging writing style and his fascination with the philosophical implications of various neurological disorders is infectious. He really tries to understand how his patients experience the world, and respect for them shines through with every word. A lot of it felt quite dated, sometimes in quite uncomfortable ways, but this was one of the few occasions where I felt fairly confident that it was just a product of the time it was written and if he wrote it today it would be completely PC.
