Remember by Lisa Genova

  • Twitter summary: I already forgot the four steps to make a memory. Guess I should have paid more attention…
  • The good: This book is easy to read and digest — in fact, it was almost too easy to read and digest. Genova provides basic examples and scientific notes to deliver her message with zero fuss; it’s also short and to the point. Perfect for individuals diving into our anatomy and how the brain works. Our brains are truly amazing.
  • The bad: I would have liked to read more scientific research in this book. At this point, we can all guess what we can do to help improve our memory and brain function; no surprises there. So, unfortunately, this book is a bit too basic for me.
  • Recommendation: Yes for a great introduction to the brain’s memory functions.
  • Overall rating: 3/5 bakers, not Bakers
