"To start off, I have never been interested in becoming a doctor in any way, so this is not the type of book that I would normally read. A co-worker who is studying to be a doctor had to read this book for a class, and when I was complaining that I didn't have anything to read, she said "Here, read this and stop crying." So I did. And it messed me up. I mean come on, phantom limbs? Pain in phantom limbs? Seeing different numbers as colors? I had never heard of any of those things. And this guy, Ramachandran, his findings are so incredibly simplistic it is ridiculous. Trick the brain by looking in a mirror, I mean come on, no pill or electro-shock therapy? This guy is awesome. Even if you have no ambitions to enter the medical field, reading this is awesome. You learn things you never knew. Aside from the actual science and medical terms that he uses that I didn't care to understand, (or really want to try to) I lost nothing in the actual understanding of what he was saying. It was very informative and for me, a fun book to read."
"if you want to freak yourself out with how complicated the human mind is then this is the book for you. it'll make you want to put on a head bumpa to protect your noggin after reading it."
