review 1: I really enjoyed this book! I was fascinated and not only learned much but, feel more comfortable with my own memory experiences. It is amazing to me how people are so confident that they have remembered correctly. This books shows how fallible and how pliable our memories are. The author shares many personal anecdotes and cites research to clarify studies on the brains use of memory. Well written, with memorable stories.
review 2: A lot of the real-life examples that the author used from his life were not compelling, especially the multiple recountings of his attempts to navigate through cities he once knew. These were often long drawn-out multi-page examples. He also became too technical at times. Some of the case studies toward the end of the book we... morere more interesting, but even those he tended to become very detailed and lengthy with. Editting out the unnecessary and uninteresting parts would have cut the book in half. less
