“A particular strength of this book is its descriptions of the social problem of encephalitis lethargica, especially for children. … What makes this book necessary is the richness of detail in the accounts of the abbreviated lives of the sufferers of encephalitis lethargica and of the researchers and doctors like Felix Stern.” (Michael S. Zandi, Brain, Vol. 142 (9), September, 2019)
