Review
"Jamie Ward's exploration and research into the little-understood but totally fascinating world of synesthesia is invaluable, and his relentless passion for the topic has helped raise its profile in the public consciousness. The Frog Who Croaked Blue expertly details his research work to date and the book is a fascinating and enjoyable read into a different world." - Heston Blumenthal, chef and owner of The Fat Duck, named Best Restaurant in the World in 2005 by Restaurant magazine
"Synesthesia has long been regarded as a curiosity. In this book Jamie Ward successfully places synesthesia in a broader context and conveys the current excitement in the field." - V.S. Ramachandran, Center for Brain and Cognition, UCSD, and author of Phantoms in the Brain
"Explaining synesthesia in clear, accessible prose, this book offers profound new insights certain to fascinate anyone interested in how the brain and our senses work." - Sean A. Day, Ph.D., synesthete; creator and moderator of the Synesthesia List
"This very readable book provides an entertaining and informative foray into the fascinating world of synaesthesia, where words can have tastes, letters may be coloured, and the sound of a frog may indeed be blue. In seeking to explore and explain synaesthesia, the book covers such phenomena as visual experience in the blind, phantom limb pain in amputees, and drug-induced sensory experiences to form an interesting and highly enjoyable read. " - Anina N. Rich, Macquarie Centre for Cognitive Science, Macquarie University
"Ward provides an exceedingly readable and comprehensive introduction to perhaps the most interesting area in current Psychological research. I challenge anyone not to be drawn into the fascinating world of synaesthesia, which Ward so expertly portrays. His book provides a unique perspective on the interplay between inner thought and concrete perception – and this would be of interest to anyone wishing to understand the relationship between the human mind and the world outside it." - Dr. Julia Simner, University of Edinburgh
