Garbage. Junk. Why does Audible sell this ??

Would you try another book from Instaread and/or Michael Gilboe?

This is a scam. Its not a review, its nothing.. just a rambling incoherent collection of summarizations of the book - all written by someone who lacks even a basic understanding of Oliver Sacks or Neurology. Its like a 3rd grade level Clif-Notes. Its garbage.
