Recensione:

"Sacks' most personal book yet... a book that pulls a reader into it.  If there is a single message to be found in [it], it is that life without joy, life without compassion, would be a sorry ting indeed.  Buy many copies of this book and give them to your friends." —The Calgary Herald
"A delight... The Island of the Colorblind fits comfortably on the shelf reserved for the best sort of travel writing, where everything under the sun is a candidate for inclusion... In a tropical setting, amid the coral reefs and cycads... the Victorian naturalist in Sacks blossoms, and his touch is lighter than ever." —NOW
" A grand entertainment, a trove of learning, it is [Sacks'] combination of the artist's eye and the healer's touch that makes [his] work - and the man himself - so memorable.  Unfailingly tolerant, open and curious, he humanizes everything he touches... This makes him for many... our prophet of understanding." — Martin Levin, The Globe and Mail
