I had high expectations for this and at first I was really charmed. But after a few pages I realized: this isn't going anywhere. Our "hero” meets a series of scientists and interacts with a series of parts of the brain (dendrites, etc). I can’t really say I "learned” anything because I don’t think I remembered any of it. It was just “hey here’s this scientist he worked on this which is like this and whoa there you go onto next scientist!”
And while I appreciate that an attempt was made to draw each scientist realistically, I didn’t like the art. The irises of the protagonist's eyes were white and that really bugged me. And I could have done without the framing story of some guy horndogging his way around chasing a pretty girl.
I love the idea of this book, but it failed in execution.
