 - Best Book On The Brain YetThis is the best written book on the brain and mind that I have seen yet, and I've seen and read a bunch. Ratey can write so well that it was a pleasure to read. The book is very comprehensive and insightful. I'd give it 10 stars if the rating system could handle it. Rating: - Great bookThis is a book that is very understandable to read for someone that is not medical. It is an enjoyable book with information anyone can understand. There are only a few illustrations but they are useful. I recommend this book for anyone pursuing a better understanding in the workings of the human processor "brain". Rating: - An excellent guide to the brainThis is an excellent guide to the brain and how it works. The focus on movement and its role in the brain, as well as neuro-chemistry provides fascinating insights into how the brain works and even how such disorders as ADHD are caused by neurological deficits. The book is written in easy to understand language, but also with an appreciation of the potential reader. I definitely recommend it as a good introduction to neuro-science and the mysteries of the human body. Rating: - AimeeThis book is EXCELLENT! I love it! It's a great explanation of how the brain develops and how it processes information after development. I would recommend that any woman who is pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant read the first chapter at the very least. I knew that certain food, etc., were not good during pregnancy but this really clarifies by telling you why and explaining what would possibly happen. In addition, it's just absolutely fascinating. Thanks, Dr. Ratey! Rating:  - too verbosethe introduction alone was enough to make me return this book. this author writes extremely long winded setences and does not make good use of his commas. the sentences are so verbose that the i found myself reading them mutliply times and placing my own commas and periods where necessary. reading this book reminded me of the days i had to read my biochemistry textbooks for a college class. his writing style does not belong in a consumer book.
