 Mixed feelings, 2010-03-22
I don't usually read this type of book i.e. anything medical makes me feel a bit queasy. However, after reading the newspaper reviews I was intrigued and had high hopes. When I receiving it I was immediately disappointed by the fact that it was very thin, the pages were smallish it was obviously a very short book. Consequently I had finished it in a few hours reading. It was quite frustrating because there were many potentially interesting episodes that would have been so much better, interesting and informative if she had written them more fully. I wish someone could have advised her when writing it to put more flesh on the bones as I think it was potentially a much much better book which the writer did have the skill to produce. Another slightly annoying feature is that the proof reading is flawed. Another small gripe is that a glossary of medical terms would not have been much trouble to add but I ended up having to consult Wikipaedia a number of times. So basically an opportunity lost I think, but if she wants to write another I hope her potential will be revealed as there were many glimpses of good stuff here.
