Incredibly and intensely interesting and extremely fascinating.

Definitely NOT what I expected, but considerably more interesting than I was expecting.
I will definitely need to listen to this book again to fully grasp a lot of the things covered. I'm very glad that I already have a reasonable understanding of physics because if I had not already studied physics, I would not have been able to get through the first chapter and I would have given up on it without bothering with the rest of the book which would have been a terrible shame because I enjoyed it greatly.
I would have liked an accompanying PDF which would have been a significant help to explain some of the more complex details. While I understand music from a physics perspective, unfortunately, I have limited knowledge about music when it comes to many of the concepts covered in this book. However, I am determined that I will learn more about these concepts because I found this book so intensely interesting and I will have to look up many of the things such as what is meant by a c minor or major and get a better understanding about chords so that I can understand the concepts better and find out the information about music that I am lacking in order to understand this book better. There are also many other sections that I will also be looking up to get a better understanding and I have already found the contact details for the author, who I plan to email in the hope that he will read my response to this book and maybe he might advise me on where I can get more information to understand this book better so that I can fully appreciate its full academic and musical value

Masterful

Daniel Levitin: a maestro of neuroscience and musical understanding combines his passion into this incredibly well written book.

As a musician his humour had me laughing and his obviously hard worked for knowledge is a wealth of knowledge I’m so incredibly grateful for.

Thank you Daniel, you have done a great service for humanity.

Not what I thought the book was about

I was expecting scientific data. The title was misleading for me. The stars don’t reflect since I would like to return the book complete useless for me
