Hmm, I originally gave this 4 stars, but that means I'm recommending that all my friends and family give serious thought to reading it. But hey, to be honest, though it was one of the most readable of medical books, it isn't really for everyone. I'll down-grade it to 3 stars, but only because I doubt any friends or family would want to read it.
