librarymouse 's review for:
A Molecule Away from Madness: Tales of the Hijacked Brain
by Sara Manning Peskin
informative
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
This was an engaging, information-dense, fast, and fascinating read. The author cares about the individuals behind the intriguing medical cases that she studies, and the way she shares their stories, their treatments, and in some cases deaths shows that care and respect along with the scientific interest. This book gives me hope for the future of scientific research and advancement on cognitive decline in whatever form it takes.
