Athena’s Reviews > Cracked Marbles: Life's Lessons for a Maine Surgeon > Status Update

I think I found a theme/motif in this book and it is the ocean and fishermen. All the characters are outdoors people.

I just finished the chapter called "Cracked Marbles" and I really liked it and I understand why the book is called Crack Marbles.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I liked the visual writing in this book. Sadly, I made some family connections with this book the day after I finished it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to learn about someone else life and adventures, and maybe you'll pick up a few facts about surgeries and diagnoses.

I am really fascinated in the stories of himself and his patients, most doctors don't have these experiences, and dedication that Harry Bryd has. As of page 159 I have loved the ending of chapters because at the end of some of them he will read the obituary's of some of his patients after a couple of years or months since he had seen them, and he still recognizes the names and the stories behind their names.

I wish I have friendships like Harry Bryd.

In the past comments I have wrote that I like the characters style of how he goes about his career. I have kind of a personal connection.. my dad said his doctor is a lot like the doctor in this book. I like that Harry is close with his patients and they become more like friends.

Harry Bryd, the main character, had a lot of experiences and the way he worked is what I would want in my doctor. Reading about certain his stories catches my interest.
