review 1: This is a fantastic read that will take you first to Ethiopia and then later to NY where you can take a surgical residency. The book had a lot of nostalgia for me as it was so reminiscent of my own time spent as a surgical resident.The book is quite well written and carries the reader on with teases all the way through, starting with, the narrator's mother was a nun? Read on! How is this so? And what about his mysterious and driven father. Will we ever meet him again?I read the book and then listened to it several times. It's a five stethoscope read for sure. Go for it. You will never regret the time investment. It does have one serious side effect: You will want to go to Ethiopia when all is said and done.
review 2: I loved the way Abraham Verghese made this f... moreeel like it was an actual event rather than fiction. I was so engrossed in the story and the characters, that I honestly looked at the end of the book for a validation that it was about actual facts! Yes, he totally researches his info, and is an actual Dr., but still this story amazed me. I loved the way this story lived for me. I am anxious to see if either of his other books is as good. After the disappointment of Lief Engers second novel though, I am skeptical that it may not have the same honest ring to it. less
