The Disordered Mind: What Unusual Brains Tell Us about Ourselves by Eric R. Kandel

informative slow-paced

4.5

I suppose everyone would find differences on which chapters are fascinating to them and which are more tedious, but I did sense a difference in pace based upon the chapter's topic. I am fairly illitterate scientifically which meant it was a slower read for me, but I gained a lot of understanding!

informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

There truly is nothing like an Amalfi lemon (you can bite into them like an apple)...but these recipes allow for substitutions to give you the flavor and mood of the Amalfi coast...and the pictures take me back!

The first dystopian I have ever truly enjoyed. It has some dark scenes for a moddle grade novel but would be great for a young high schooler. As an adult, I loved it.
