"Fascinating account of medical research...LaPlante shows how a brain scar may cause bizarre aggressive or sexual behavior-and works of profound creative imagination."
-Howard Gardner
"Readers intrigued by Oliver Sacks' Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat will welcome LaPlante's book...Thoughtful...Highly recommended."
-Library Journal
"LaPlante's descriptions of the human brain are wonderfully concrete, and her empathy for epilepsy's victims is clear."
-Kirkus Review
