I leafed through it and it seems interesting. Has anyone read it and can say more? (I know it wouldn't take much to beat me, since I haven't written anything, but you know those gut feelings...?)

It is a popular science work that offers interesting insights that can be explored further thanks to the bibliographic references, and more precisely, the reading of Patel is recommended (too bad it's not available in Italian).
Lively, non-scientific language, stimulating because after reading it you feel like filling all the gaps that the text has left you. In fact, it is not exhaustive, but I think that was the author's intention. For the curious, there is a preview on Google Books

Regarding this book, at one point it tells of a BBC broadcast

... and it was talking about this actress

it seems she guessed a musical theme from the very first note, and there is then a discussion on the nature of this perception
