Light reading, but I expected less of a personal narrative and more referenced studies. He provided notes at the back, but it didn't complement the main text as it should have — it felt like the notes provided an excuse for not writing about the the subject in depth. It did have some interesting parts though. However, if I really wanted further information, I suspect I'd have to read a book by one of the scientists he references. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/74499?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
