" Lots of captivating stories and interesting trivia about music and the brain. Captivating writing. "

" saya merupakan pelajar psikologi klinikal akan tetapi buku ini banyak membantu saya sebenarnya. Sangat bagus! "

" I am really enjoying this book. It is music, psycology and anatomy and phisiology. It makes me feel smart. "

" There's just so much interesting stuff in this book!!! I love Oliver Sacks!!!!! I especially love how he writes so compassionately about the people he sees. "

" I love music. I love the brain. It's a great, interesting read. "

" some nice bits, but it felt too much like reading a list of medical files... i would have liked some kind of progression, or general analysis, instead of jumping from a case to another one. "

" As I continue to read this book, I find it more and more interesting. This man's thought processes as well as working with his patients gives him some fascinating insight to inner audio processes. "

" An interesting book on the oddities of music and the human brain. Tells some fascinating stories about individuals that have odd musical abilities or disabilities that enhance or dramatcally interfere with their ability to live normal lives. A little dry at times, but interesting nonetheless. "

" Didn't enjoy it as much as some of his other books "

" Anyone who is interested in music and science this book is it.... I really liked it! "

" I've enjoyed many of Sack's books, and this is probably my least favorite. It seems a more a collection of anecdotes around the theme of music, rather than a cohesive whole. Interesting enough, but somehow dissatisfying. "

" Always a delight to read Mr. Sachs. This one has less of the crazy neurological aberrations of "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" but it is fascinating none the less. "

" Music is an integral part of society. The very act of listening to music is powerful enough to transports, heals and molds our minds. At it's best Music serves as a bridge connecting our thoughts deeply to our emotions. "

" This is one of my favorite books and authors of all time. "

" I haven't actually finished reading this book, but I doubt I ever will. Too anecdotal, not enough substance. "

" Very interesting stories and insight into the brain. I listened to audio book instead of reading. Although the stories were compelling I often found my attention wandering. "

" Dr. Sack's without a doubt has become one of my favorite authors. "

" Interesting, as all his books, are but focused on a different topic than his other books-music. I generally enjoy his writing and was not disappointed. "

" Wow.... it hurts my brain at times but it is really interesting! Just give yourself a lot of time to comprehend and read it! "

" interesting but very technical. I liked 'Brain Rules' better, but I learned a lot! "

" It will make you a believer that music is essential to well-being! "

" Very enlightening stuff!! It shed some light on the possible ways in which my brain (or the brains of some of my friends) work. Best thing is -- really -- it affirmed the magical power of music. I always knew... <3 "

" Occasionally too technical/off-topic, poor transitions, but overall enjoyable "

" Oliver Sacks is always fascinating. I liked this book about bizarre music-related neuroses but it wasn't nearly as good as The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. "

" Absolutely fascinating.It was a little scary to start reading this book because the author wrote about all the things that could go wrong at the beginning. The middle and the end were considerably calmer for the nerves. "

" Interesting material, but there is no large-scale structure: just a series of disjointed essays. If it were marketed as a series of essays, that would be great, but if you're expecting a coherent narrative you will be disappointed. "
