Although some of the story in Luke Dittrich's book "Patient H.M."
has been presented here, a formal review by Seth Mnookin,
director of MIT's grad program in science writing, finally appears.
Here is the link to the review:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/04/books/review/patient-h-m-luke-dittrich.html?mabReward=CTM

One of the surprising statement that Mnookin makes is that
Dittrich does not provide notes or references for points made
in the books (as well as some factual errors).  So, this makes
the book more of a memoir than a scientific monograph, that
is, a personal view of the history surrounding HM as well as
commentary on the "sociology of cognitive neuroscience",
how social factors affected people working in this area.
