Recenzii

"Superb - One's prurient reading pleasure is elevated by Ross's clarity, his wit, his authority." Sebastian Faulks, The Spectator "This is a book to which I shall return again and again - Witty and deeply humane." Raymond Tallis, Wall Street Journal "A quietly enthralling book - It's a little like reading a literary version of the TV show House." Daily Mail "A gripping medical detective book - Entertaining." Telegraph "Fascinating, surprising and at times hilarious compilation." New Scientist
