Fascinating case studies of people displaying exceptional musical ability--some quite suddenly after injury or disease. The book's lively writing style keeps it from becoming a science text. The development of perfect pitch in children correlated with tonal languages was especially interesting. I loaned the book to my dd's Suzuki violin teacher, who is pleased that Sacks' information confirms that early music exposure increases brain function.
