Some Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling Errors

In addition to the errors, I just couldn't get as interested in this medical read as I have others. It didn't hold my attention and it seemed more random and scattered conversations than anything else. The two stars are for effort because it's not easy to write even a mediocre book!

Somewhat verbose but colorful

I liked that he didn't skimp on details. Very colorful writing, described the incidents clearly and concisely. As a former ER nurse, I've seen a lot of what he's written about.

The book was semi interesting. It was very long and jumbled. It would have been better if it was in chronological order and shorter. It was very long yet many of the stories ended abruptly.
