I am very glad I had ordered this book. He is, was, a very gifted writer, and I consider myself to be very fortunate in having come across his writings. I haven't read everything he has written but what I have read, I believe, has helped me to gain a better understanding and awareness of who we are. Thank you very much.

A brief book on a personal interview with one of the worlds most famous Neuroscientist and resaercher. Read this as a last witty sayings of this great man who is probably the most unforgatable character. He was a part of Mortcycle gang, drug addict, alcoholic,hard working doctor and a homosexual who did so much to understand the human mind that no one has done before.His famous book "AWAKENINGS' has been made into an award winning movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oliver Sack's last interview before he died.

The book is written is written from a recorded series of conversations with different people and subjects which are fascinating. Made me want to hear their voices - but as always Oliver Sack's thought processes went into the depths of the subject and 'teased' out meanings and explanations which are most illuminating. An excellent read.

This account of Oliver Sacks' last interviews is really more like a long magazine article. The reader is, of course, fascinated to encounter once again this extraordinary
personality as he chats very openly with various skilled interviewers. However

It's good, but I not the biggest fan of reading verbatim interviews with the 'um....' and the interruptions. However, there is a variety of interviewers, so each one offers something different, so it's worth a read.
