Author: John Fleischman

Genre: Non-fiction

                        150 years ago a man named Phineas Gage was working on a railroad when he had a horrible accident that changed the world.  In the year of 1848 while working as a fore man Phineas had accident that was cased by  a explosion leaving a hole in his head.  The case of Phineas changed the way the way the world and scientist look at the brain. 

                        The author really didn’t have a theme it was more of a question or him being lucky or unlucky.  The author said that Phineas was lucky but I think its all perspective there is no such thing as luck.  Why well it all depends on the way you look at it.

                        I hated this book it was sooooooo boring for example it goes on and on about the brain.  Plus what boy likes a book with no action. Exactly NOT ME!  If I had to rate this book I would be a 0 STAR.  I would not recommend this book to anyone unless you are interested in boring brain gibberish.
