The writing in this book is very basic, even primitive. The story behind it is important and I heard the author interview on the radio and found that exciting. As written, the salient messages would have made a good essay but there is insufficient substance here for a book. I was happy for the author who is reporting her success and certain insights but the book itself was a disappointment.
Now I know what everyone has been raving about!:
People have been telling me to read this for months. I needed something for the plane so I finally got it. It is a beautiful book, a fascinating tour of the brain that will totally alter how you think about your mind and about the primacy of the intellectual side. It is beautifully written, heartfelt and inspiring, the kind of book you are grateful to have read. Totally recommend.
My Stroke of Insight:
I recommend this book for anyone who has had a stroke or who lives with someone who has.. We saw Dr. Taylor on the Oprah show and were greatly impressed by her story and who she was.. There are a couple of chapters that are difficult to read as they are quite technical, but the rest is very informative..
A Stroke of Insight:
A Stroke of Insight is a fascinating book that helps you to better understand the physiology of the brain and, more importantly, the power of the brain. Jill's journey brings hope to those enduring the often long road to recovery of a brain injury and is highly recommended to any medical caregiver who deals with these types of patients.
