Have you ever read a book where it's clear that the author is smart but the author writes in a way that makes it seem like they need you to know that they are smart? Yeah, that's this book.
On the bright side, with the amount of medicine in this book, I feel like I'm ready to become a doctor now.

This story was very good and very well written, if not a little long. Well worth reading.
