This book is really more about the organs and tissues then the brain. Because the brain regulates the entire body, the author spends an inordinate (and misleading, from the title) amount of time on topics other than the brain; for example, the different types of teeth, and the layers of the skin. For this reason, a lot of fascinating brain-related information is omitted.
The author is also a bit too glib, and this gives a very mixed tone of the serious and the off cuff: "the two are brought together by sexual intercourse (a term often shortened to `sex' when people are in a hurry"). Moreover, admonishments to care for your body (brush your teeth, exercise more, etc.) seemed out of place. On the positive side, the book has some fun illustrations (although a too cluttered at times), and the large colour pictures of the organs and brain are fairly easy to understand. 62 pages, with a short glossary and an index.
