Recenzii

Gawande draws you in with the story but leaves you wiser about science, about health, and even about the human condition.
Ever wondered how realistic ER is? Then read Gawande's superb book. The truth, you will find, is far more compelling, though the endings are never as neat ... Gawande makes the scenes far more dramatic than television ever can. He is a first-class writer.
Written as tautly as a thriller.
