Without detracting from the pull of the story, the book also succeeds on another level: It gives the reader an intimate understanding of how it might feel to be an epileptic—it puts you in the mind of the main character. Sidebars within the book give enough technical information to allow the reader to understand the science behind the disease as well as the limitations in our understanding and treatment of this complex illness.
This book would be especially valuable to college students, grad students, and, especially, anyone going into the field of medicine or psychology. Highly recommended.… (altro)
