Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks

While there is much to be learned from Musicophila, I do not believe it is as good as Sacks' previous books. It's a little choppy in style and does not have the echoes of far-reaching implications that were so enchanting in The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see how music can be used as therapy for people who have neurological diseases and to learn that perfect pitch is more frequent among people whose native language is tonal (e.g., Mandarin, Vietnamese.)
