Like so many sci-fi novels, this one took several pages for me to "get up to speed" on the differences in the world. But after that initial learning curve, this story was non-stop wonderful. It probably helps that I'm a historian, so the topic was particularly interesting for me. Still, I highly recommend it!

Already well over halfway through! This book is very well written. I'll save the details for my review :)

Since I finished What It's Like To Be A Dog, I of course have to jump right into the next one! This is the last of my Christmas haul, if you can believe it. I've a feeling this is going to go quickly!

I highly recommend this book if you're at all interested in neuroscience or animals. My science background isn't the strongest, but the author does a good job of explaining what's going on when he's talking about brains. And the stories are fantastic!

About to head to central PA for a work conference, but I made sure to pack my current read! This book is too good to leave for two days.

"The similarity in brain pathology between sea lions and humans pointed toward a similarity of experience. So we now knew what it was like for a sea lion to experience domoic acid poisoning. It was the same as a human. But did analogous experiences run deeper than that?"

I'm definitely learning more about the human brain than I thought I ever would, and it's all so interesting!
