I read a couple of dozen pages and it was very much how I expected it to be and I do don’t like it. It is not that the book is not entertaining. It is, it made to be entertaining intentionally. However, the Oliver Sacks take on what I consider is “interesting” is very much not something that I care. Mr. Sacks recognize “impact” of music as a fact and he advance his views base upon this fact. I rather see the musical impact as a ceremony and all my mentally -disturbed little world of my interest is perfectly live inside this ceremony. I kind of care less what brain lobe and what neurons is responsible for it. I might hear or read about it but it truly has no practical interest to me. So, in the end I got bored with this book. Perhaps I need to make effort to read it to the end but why…?
