rainbowunicorn_readsI saw this a few years ago at Powerbooks, costing around Php700 I think. It's about a girl with synesthesia, a "neurologically based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway", according to Wikipedia.
Synesthesia, like aphasia, fascinates me. More so since it involves associating colors with letters or numbers, tasting shapes, having sound become visible.
I learned about synesthesia through this book, and became obsessed with it for a while. The descriptions are wonderful and if you're a descriptionist (like me), you'd love this.
What I think: 7.5 unicorns
