    <body><![CDATA[I was a little disappointed with the brevity of the first stories, but found them compelling nonetheless (sometimes the later stories expand on the earlier ones a bit). The comparative analysis he does between brain disorders is interesting and was novel for me. Sacks really focuses on the human experience and how it affects the manifestation of disorders differently in individual patients, as well as the importance of evaluating patients in a more humane way, and not just clinical manner which often can be incomplete and imprecise.]]></body>
