I couldn't put this down or stop thinking about it. Really fascinating account of the (depressing) cases of a brain surgeon. Each chapter describes specific cases, from the initial consultation, through to the diagnosis, then the operation, and finally the (usually depressing) outcome.
His description of his own mother dying left me in tears.
It highlights the life-and-death decisions he wrestled with daily - would the surgery be worth it?
