Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything by Joshua Foer

inspiring fast-paced

It was a good read, I think the author wasted a few chapters going into things that didn't add to the story. Overall a good read and really interesting.

This book has somw really good parts but this is overshadowed by how much the author waffles on irrelevant content.

I believe that this book is twice as long as it should be.
