My opinion of this book is slightly biased by the characterization of Daniel Tammet in [a:Joshua Foer|2867569|Joshua Foer|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1322436441p2/2867569.jpg]'s [b:Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything|6346975|Moonwalking with Einstein The Art and Science of Remembering Everything|Joshua Foer|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1347705105s/6346975.jpg|6533383], but that aside, this book was a dull mess, Tammet clearly more impressed with himself and his otherness than is warranted. Given my distrust of the author, I would not recommend this story to anyone.
