"A good read"
I very much enjoyed the ideas expressed in this book. I would urge anyone interested in music to give the book a read.

"How a terrible reader can spoil an audiobook."
What did you like best about Dr. Oliver Sacks on Music and the Mind? What did you like least?I was listening to his Musicophilia, 25 times longer and better, because in this little book I cannot pay attention to his voice, so monotonal and lifeless it is. Actually, his reading made it unbearable to listen to anything he said, be it good or bad.
What was most disappointing about Oliver Sacks’s story?I could not say becuase of his voice is so bad that one cannot pay attention to what is being read.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Robert Krulwich?I thought the voice was from the author. I guess it is difficult to find anyone worse than him. I've read several commentaries complaining about the quality of the narrator. In all of them I gave them a fair try, by listening to them in their free sample, and ended up by saying that it wasn`t that bad. This is the first one I cannot tolerate hearing to it. I should have gone to the free trial first. It was my bad. I guess that in this particular case I was enjoying so much the narrator (John Lee) of Musicophilia that, when I found out this other one reading the text, I could not bear such dramatic change for the worse.
Did Dr. Oliver Sacks on Music and the Mind inspire you to do anything?
To listen first the free sample before buying any audiobook from now. It is an important lesson. It could save both money and a lot of unnecessary anger.
Any additional comments?ALWAYS LISTEN THE FREE SAMPLE FIRST TO JUDGE BY YOURSELF WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN STAND THE READING, BEFORE BUYING IT.
