Book Reviews of Genie: a Scientific Tragedy
Book Review: Well written, scientific, human. Anybody could enjoy this.
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book fascinating and excellently written. Rymer will talk about something, then go off on a tangent that will either serve to explain the main thread of the story, or to put it more into perspective, and then he comes right back. This style continues throughout the book, back and forth like a needle and thread, weaving his story. He vulgarizes well, but I would still recommend this book to any linguist, or anybody interested in cognitive sciences. A very good read.
