In addition to the horrific descriptions of women, the science isn’t even right!!
Charlie’s condition is caused by phenylketoneuria, which the Dr. says is a mystery. It was explained and mostly cured a decade before this was written. Maybe pre-internet the author couldn’t get that info, fine.
Now they describe the gyri and sulci of the mouse brain - all mouse brains are flat!! Come on!! Easily available info
