Nonfiction Friday
I have completed my 2nd book for the Nonfiction Challenge. (also hosted by Dewey Decimal) My goal is 9 nonfiction books for the year!
I was surprised by this book. I didn't know what to expect when I started it and it got me thinking. I did enjoy hearing about the medical aspect of this book but I am not sure what to think overall. His love for literature and neurology is what made this book work well. I also completely understand that it was written towards the end of his life. I didn't anticipate so much of the philosophical aspects of it and Im not typically drawn to those conversations either. I think the Epilogue by his wife tied the whole book together and filled in some of the missing pieces. Im glad I listened to this short book, but I didn't love it as I had hoped! I'm wondering if the words were meant to be read and if it lost a bit of power in the audiobook. 3.5 Stars (I almost feel guilty saying that)
I felt bad that I didn't love this one as much as I thought I would. I thought his wife's writing was lovely.
ReplyDeleteI did love this book, but I get how it might not be for everyone. Even though I knew how it was going to end, it still made me sad.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this didn't live up to the hype for you! It's still on my to-read pile, but I hope to get to it soon.
