"I liked this one very much. Very real, language is stong. Surprisingly a neurosurgeon could generate such a book. My typical interaction with neurosurgeons would lead me to believe such humanity and artistry could not exist among 'brain surgeons' Vertosick deals with much broader range of topics than Hot Lights, Cold Steel"

"I loved this book. It was absolutely fascinating and hilarious in parts, especially when the author describes his first day in rotation in neurosurgery."
