Critic reviews

Challenging, original, readable and personal (Oliver Sacks)
Susan Greenfield enthrals and intrigues in equal measure. A force of intellect and a force of nature. (John Humphrys)

Jumping from character to character was an interesting presentation for this book, the content was a little heavy to start with but enthralling.

What did you like best about this story?

The all Emersing feeling I had whilst listening it was full concentration kind of book !

Which character – as performed by Zara Ramm and Daniel Pirrie – was your favourite?
