Tasting the Universe

Too much nonsense about spirituality and too many tenuous attempts to make out that synaesthetes are in some way superior advanced beings.

Science is not only left out from the book, but is often looked down upon because it can't fully explain synaesthesia, yet the scientific explanations are far more rational, convincing, and plausible than the ‘synaesthete as an evolutionary leap forward' idea comes across as wishful thinking.

The book kept glancing past fascinating topics, such as the music of Billy Joel, but then moving away before anything truly interesting was discussed.

Perhaps more suitable for people who experience synaesthesia rather than those interested in the subject and the science of it.
