A great story, really enjoyed it in the beginning (I think I read half the book in one sitting) but then by the end it started to feel like a public service announcement for NEHSA (sp?). Maybe it was the fact that I was also rushing to finish the book so that I wouldn't have to bring a hardcover (or a half-finished book) along with me on holidays. Nevertheless, I still enjoy Genova's writing and I love how her books are filled with medical knowledge, without the book being too dense for the "average" reader.
