Aneesha Shewani,Reedsy Discovery 5 stars - Made me laugh out loud "I am the first to admit that I do not have a scientific bent of mind, and normally, I shy away from anything that smacks of science. But Dr. Tranter explains things in a way even the most non-science-oriented ones (like me) can understand. He has some comments that made me literally laugh out loud. The "X-files of neuroscience" segment was even more intriguing than the question/answer segment." Rose Long and Short Reviews 5 stars - Fascinating "I like the choice of topics. They are not too quirky, and revolve around everyday things- dreams, brain freeze, addiction, bilingualism, for example. It's friendly and simple enough that even someone like me can easily follow up the narration. The last part, where we're going, is fascinating."- Viviana-MacKade Reviews 5 stars - A surprisingly funny and engaging read!
