    <body><![CDATA[I’ve been an avid, even proselytic fan of Robertson Davies for more than 20 years, and was delighted to discover that this novel (his last) had somehow slipped by me and that there was still more Davies to read. Sadly, <em>The Cunning Man</em> is a let-down—a book that demonstrates, more than anything, a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63962804">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[  As a fan of Davies' fiction from way back I was disappointed by this effort. Davies attempts to describe the life, character, and experiences of an unorthodox medical doctor, and falls short.<br/>  Perhaps because of my own background as a physician I found that nothing rang true or familiar abou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23804111">more...</a>]]></body>

Some other reviews I've come across say it's just not one of his best. From the little else I've read of Davies, I agree.

Secrets, loves, achievements, failings, etc. The book does sag a bit in the middle in that the Dr's Life becomes a bit routine (or so it appears) but it then picks up again and is interesting to the end. ]]></body>
