This book is pretty old at this point, there are newer books with newer science in them re: the neuroscience of language and sign language in particular. And there was a lot of blah blah about how what the mother does or doesn't do for their infant can make or break them, as if fathers do not a thing to influence child development. But, I like Sacks' style, and I really liked the third part of the book where he describes being on the Gallaudet campus for the Deaf president protests. A great moment in history.
