Review of Tizzy Wheels, A Holofilm Neurobiology Almanac
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Tizzy Wheels, A Holofilm Neurobiology Almanac" by Ele May or Alkie Ceolin.]
"Tizzy Wheels, A Holofilm Neurobiology Almanac" by Ele May or Alkie Ceolin
The book, "Tizzy Wheels, A Holofilm Neurobiology Almanac," explores various aspects of neurobiology, communication theory, and problem-solving using a unique approach that includes sketches and puzzles. It delves into topics like light, sound, and sensory perception, as well as how the brain processes information. The author's personal experiences and interactions with notable figures in the scientific community are also highlighted, providing a blend of personal narrative and scientific exploration. The book aims to offer new insights and perspectives on neurobiology and communication, possibly in a way that challenges traditional thinking.
The author appears to have conducted experiments or research related to neurobiology, communication theory, and problem-solving. Instead of presenting the findings in a traditional research paper format, the author has chosen to present the information in a more narrative or story-like format. This storytelling approach may help make complex concepts more accessible and understandable to a broader audience.
When I read the summary of this book, I was excited to dive into it. I love reading about new concepts that I don’t know about and learning new things. The author's idea of presenting the experiment, research, and findings in a story format piqued my interest, thinking it would make the difficult ideas presented in a more digestible format for laypeople's readers.
Sadly, this is the only thing I was able to like about this book.
Even though the author has mentioned that this is the unedited version of the book, I wasn’t expecting so many errors and mistakes throughout the book.
The book wasn’t structured properly; it seemed like an incoherent mess, and none of the chapters were numbered or formatted properly, which made it hard to follow the book properly. The very weird thing that I found in the book was the use of a carrot emoji in one of the chapters, which is something very out of place, and even a non-writer would not include it. There was a part in the book where, while explaining the experiments, the author was talking about the images of certain food items taken by her, which she later viewed on undeveloped films, something that was part of the experiment, but the author went on a tangent of giving the recipe for those dishes, which was completely out of place.
The book is, as already told by the author, the unedited version, but there were so many grammatical and punctuation mistakes and typos on every page that it was hard for me to keep up with them, so I had to stop keeping a count after a while. The author has used “....” throughout the book so much unnecessarily, making the flow of the book very rocky.
The author's decision to write about her research in a story format sounds like an interesting concept, but it wasn’t executed well. Reading about the experiment, which is a very technical concept to understand, and in between reading about the life of the author without any proper transition, it was very hard to keep up with either of the two things.
All of it could have been ignored with professional editing, which becomes an oxymoron for me to say this because the author mentions this book is the unedited version. Yet, careful self-editing would have worked wonders.
I rate this book 1 out of 5 stars. I went into this book with such high hopes and was very excited. Sadly, I was very disappointed with the highly unprofessional writing of the book.
I would still suggest this book to people who are interested in such niche topics and can understand the experiments easily.

As I scrolled I wondered what would warrant this star rating, and reading through the reviewer reasons, I support the star rating.

I tried reading this book, and it gave me such a negative emotional response that I had to give up. My problem was trying to figure out how to review it. I agonized over it, actually. Your review is very good. Thank you for saying what I couldn't find the words to express.
