The Woman Who Can't Forget

The story of Jill Price, a 43 year old woman who has an autobiographical memory. James McGaugh, a professor of neurobiology at University of California coined a term for Ms. Price's condition that he calls 'hyperthymestic syndrome' or overdeveloped memory.

To make a REALLY long story short, this book bored me to tears; I had hoped for an interesting scientific study of how her mind/brain worked, what might be significantly different, the types of tests that were run and why. Instead it was just a long list of things that Ms. Price has done every day of her life - 40 some years worth.
