Title: Phineas Gage Greg Krulas
Author: John Fleischman
Genre: Non-fiction
Phineas Gage was a railroad worker who had a terrible head injury in the 1800’s. He was a foreman who worked with explosives and had an accident that left a hole in his head. Despite his accident he made a “complete recovery” and shared his story while he traveled the world. His case changed the way people looked at the brain.
Was Phineas lucky or unlucky? I thought he was very unlucky. He had to go through a lot after his head injury. He did a ton of traveling, he had many bad seizures, and had to show off like a freak.
I liked and disliked this book. I liked this book because I never heard about Phineas Gage, and it baffled my mind that he survived. The pictures were the part I liked the most because it made me pay more attention when I was bored. What I disliked about it was as it went on it got really boring because of the big words. I give this book two stars only because it was boring. I recommend this book to people who like science.
