A very long book - over 600 pages but it was very captivating and I have read it in one sitting. The story and the characters are fictional, but their toil as people and as doctors make us relate to their fears and worries about life. I have to say that there was never a moment when I felt compelled to skip pages, Segal keeps it interesting throughout. It will be a captivating read, and it touches upon such issues as euthanasia and doctor's ethics, not to mention the adrenaline of the operating room. xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The reason I gave the book 4 stars is because I feel Segal did not properly finalize the future of each character. The reader, as it should be, gets attached and curious about each one of the doctors but we only really get to say farewell to a couple of them. Also, some characters undergo a great personality change eg. Palmer - from a wonderful man to a complete scoundrel without much of an explanation but just so that the story line would fit. Still, no book is perfect, I think it is a wonderful read and warmly recommend it.
