I think this book was incredibly well done, I was just not the target audience. I found myself getting bored with the detailed descriptions brain surgery and medical procedures. But I did think it was really well written and a very worthwhile read. I especially appreciated how the neurosurgery was described in a way that made it easy to understand and follow, even for people with no experience in the field (outside of McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy).

I would highly recommend this to anyone with even a passing curiosity about brain surgery, but perhaps not the people like me who are just looking for an interesting memoir about someone's life.
