Reviews

[persephone ☾ · Rating 3 out of 5]

it was an enjoyable read overall, a bit weird and improbable when it came to the love-stories ( like who falls in love in two hours and proceeds to talk marriage after one day ??? ) but also extremely interesting when it came to the more scientific part of the book.

reading this book without having any knowledge about medicine, hospitals and surgery would be dreadful though, so make sure it's something that interests you !
