Amazing look and the 5 senses as well as synesthesia. So much information packed into this book in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming or dragged out. Diane has a very succinct, beautiful, and entertaining way of writing that always makes any topic interesting and engaging. Lots of fun facts in this!!!

Mind-altering Murder (Psych, #5)

Post from the A Natural History of the Senses forum
“From Wright, we learn that his world, though it has little sound in it, ‘seldom appears silent,’ because his brain translates movement into a gratifying sense of sound”
Every time i read about sound im reminded of my old ASL teacher and how she told us (signed to us) that since she was born deaf she had no basis for what did and didn’t make sound because it’s not something that is explained, you either know or you don’t. So she used to think that the sun in the sky made a sound that varied based on how bright it was in the sky and i really think that’s fascinating.

Boy oh boy do i love these boys. Not the best book in the series, but by no means the worst. The constant banter and bickering between the two is of course amazing and all of the King Arthur info dumping was actually very enjoyable and of course the big ridiculous adventure that could only happen on the infinite budget of words on a page made this so whacky and goofy. I figured out a pretty big piece of the puzzle almost as soon as the info was introduced in the first 50 pages but it didn’t hinder my enjoyment at all because there was so much else going on along with even more reveals to be had that i couldn’t help but speed through to get to the end. I love Shawn and Gus!!! The duo ever!!!
