I read this book over 10 years ago and remembered liking it. It's a good medical drama and it explains a lot of medical terminology without bogging down the story. I've watched Medical dramas since I was 11 and understand a lot of medical terms but I don't want it to take up a lot of the book I'm reading.
Dr. Anslam Harris is a likeable character. My only issue is that he seems passive for most of the book. He is understated and does make inquiries, but doesn't press. It's not enough to make me dislike him.
The last part of the books seems a little rushed and there are a few loose ends that don't get tied. It's really a pacing issue in the last part They start a storyline with Anslam's ex-wife in the last part that goes nowhere and is never talked about.
Also two major players who are part of the manipulation and railroad suddenly come off Scott free in the end. It could work in their benefit if they added a scene with these two and Anslam near the end. I think it would have added a little more and made Anslam a lot less passive at the end. It could have replaced a few scenes that slowed down some of the book.
All in all it was a good book and a very enjoyable read.
