READING IN THE BRAIN - STANISLAUS DEHAENE

READING IN THE BRAIN - STANISLAUS DEHAENE

RATING:C

This book deals with reading - covering the basics of how we read to how we learn to read, problems with reading, how writing and reading came about, etc. It covers both science and evolutionary matters related to reading.

I found the first part of the text enjoyable and invigorating, but by the time I was a third to half way through, I began to get a bit bored finding it less personally interesting. There were also a lot of notes to keep checking - although predominantly only sources.

I would recommend this book to those who are interested in the subject of reading from a scientific or historical viewpoint, and those interested in reading that simply want to read about reading.
