It's one of the better books around. Read it first ignoring all the
footnotes and esp the appendix. And then read it again with all the
details.  It's arranged like an Oliver Sacks book, i.e. really annoying
with all the references that make you go to the end of the book, so you
quickly loose track of the overall thread. Which is why I recommend reading
it twice.
