"Dr Sacks conjures apparitions in language that has an easy, tactile magic . . . He illuminate[s] the complexities of the human brain and the mysteries of the human.”   —  Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“It is rare, indeed, when such an expert is also a talented writer... It is remarkable to see the consistency of this literate, inquiring mind.”  —  The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Amazing... Sacks’s temperament...facilitates that extraordinary humanity, that loving curiosity about the experiences of other people, that near-magical ability to see how even the most seemingly devastating losses may be remedied by the mind’s remarkable powers of compensation.”   -  Bookforum
