A waste of time. I am deeply confused by the title of the book; it's just wrong. Out of 118 pages, I think only a bit more than a dozen contain any information relevant to the brain. The rest of the book contains nothing but author's superficial musings regarding French politics, public opinion about researches, and useless mumbling about opinions of researchers about several various niches of science. If you want to read about brain, read something else, for this book will be just a waste of your time.
