Sacks</a><br/><br/> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13838469?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review"><h3>My review</h3></a> rating: 2 of 5 stars<br/>I was drawn to this book after reading "A Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" and the fact that the discovery of L-DOPA is a monumental event in medicine, however I thought Sacks wrote too much like a physician...too many medical terms. He also could have illustrated his point in a much shorter essay. I got tired of reading the same thing after a while. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/838289?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
