I really tried to like this book. The subject was really interesting to me and I was keen to learn more. Sadly, the writing style was just not for me. I kept pushing myself to try and finish it but in the end it just was not enjoyable. There's a lot of unecessary information in there and the explanation of the science still feels difficult and confusing. I felt like I was reading a 200 page long scientifc paper instead of a book. And even though I wanted to learn more about how we remember and how we form memories every time I closed the book I was just more confused. There is a lot of information but it is not organised properly so nothing sticks. And for a book that is exploring how are mind rememembers, it felt very disappointing not to be able to remember anything. Overall , a very interesting subject but poorly executed.
