Livewired: The Inside Story of the Ever-Changing Brain by David Eagleman

3.0

My problem with this book is that it used too many metaphors to explain a rather easy to understand and straightforward concept. Most of the time I find those metaphors unnecessary, I would appreciate if author takes the time and effort to explain the concept in depth rather than just throw in yet another citation. Another problem I had with this book is that it is too repetitive, same underlying concept had been repeated in several chapters, only wrapped with different fluffy words.

Overall still a fun read and I learned couple of interesting stuff. The book targets more for people who wants to takes their first step into the neuroscience wonderland.
