review 1: The x-rays on their own are amusingly curated and I appreciated the effort to create a narrative flow. However, they put the same amount of effort into the accompanying text for each x-ray, which is much too much. I wish they would have had a short caption saying what the foreign object was and maybe a blurb on the patient's given explanation. As it is now, I have to slog through inane paragraphs before they finally tell me it's a hairpin. Very quickly I stopped trying to read the accompanying articles and scanned them for the reveal.As a layperson, I would have appreciated an arrow or circle on the less obvious pictures. The premise of the book seemed anus-centric so it would take me a while to spot the foreign object not in the rectal region.TL;DR....TL;DR Would have far... moreed better as a coffee table book focused on pictures not inane, tangential articles.
review 2: Pretty much boring and not as "fun" as I thought it was gonna be...no funny stories as to how and why people stuck things up their bums. Plus the pictures all kinda look doctored, especially with some of the bigger items. I just skimmed it after the first couple of stories as I realized it wasn't going to get better...luckily I recieved it from paperbackswap.com so I just relisted it and sent it on its way, maybe someone else will like it. less
