~ Plot ~
The Interpreter stars Nicole Kidman who plays the UN interpreter Silvia Broome. When Silvia returns to the UN building at night to collect some of her possessions, she accidentally overhears a death threat against an African head of state, in a language only she and a few others can speak. Silvia then also becomes a target and her world is turned upside down. Under the protection of federal agent Tobin Keller (Sean Penn), Silvia's past is dug deep into. Being raised in Matobo in Africa, her previous life is bought to light involving secrets and lies, connections to these heads of states and a background that she wishes to forget.

Advantages: Interesting, thought-provoking case studies Disadvantages: Author doesn't really make any conclusions clear; more for the specialist
Oliver Sacks is a physician and neurologist by profession, but has an extremely keen ear for music. He is supremely, if not almost uniquely, qualified to tell us in the opening pages of this book that the power of music occupies more areas of our brain than language does. This is by way of a prelude to a book consisting largely of case histories of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions.
Among the cases he discusses is that of Tony Cicoria, a previously more or less unmusical 42-year-old surgeon, who was struck by lightning while making a telephone call, developed a passion for music within a few weeks, started teaching himself the piano, and became a compulsive composer; Silvia N., who suffered from epilepsy, who was normally sent into convulsions by a CD of Neapolitan songs; and Rachael Y., a composer ...
