A review by juliana_aldous
Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks

3.0

If you've never read Oliver Sacks--read the Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat or the Anthropologist from Mars. Those are excellent books. This one feels more like just a survey of medical information and research about various types of hallucinations. Interesting if that is your field or you have a deep interest in hallucinations but I just wasn't feeling it with this one. It did whet my appetite though for his upcoming memoir which I will be buying in hardcover as soon as it publishes. In this book he talks about his own self-induced drug experimentation which made me wonder more about this strange man who has done so much to teach us about our inner world.
