review 1: A good book, easy to read whether you have any medical background or not. I was slightly annoyed during the first part of the book feeling like I was reading a doctor's brag book. I had been expecting more of an analysis of what went on and a more in depth look of Dr. Berk's thoughts on why crimes like these happen; what makes a person make bad choices vs good choices. However, after the book started getting more focused on the crime, and the doctor's feelings and the impact on him I started to enjoy the read more. And, to give him credit, Dr. Berk's medical stories were interesting and well told, they just weren't what I was thinking I'd be spending half the book reading about.
review 2: Really I think I would give this a 3.5....While I accept Dr. Berk's pr... moreemise that his training and experience as a doctor definitely enabled him to survive his kidnapping, somehow, in the telling of the story, he himself often seemed not to be totally accepting of some of his responses and actions during this harrowing ordeal. This made me come away from the story feeling that at times he was trying to convince himself more than me as a reader. less
