This book was a great mix of clearly explained medical information and reflection on the psychological and social affects the disorders encountered had on the individuals Oliver Sacks describes. Of his books, this one is my favorite because it has more cases where the patients are able to manage well, or even receive artistic inspiration from their ailment than those who are limited by it. It really was a collection of stories of people who have been forced to live differently, and how they manage to do that.
