As a health professional who has had only limited association with the condition, I found the account of the history of epilepsy and its place in the media and society a compelling read. Rather than being dry and academic, it is lively and lucid in a way that surely reflects the author\u2019s personal experience.
It deserves a wide audience as a good read and in the process, it must help in furthering a deeper, more compassionate understanding of epilepsy<\/p>\n
