3.0 out of 5 stars Not entertainment for laymen!, 13 July 2009

By	Sissel M. �stdahl "smaureen" (Norway) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Year of the Intern (Signet) (Paperback)

I have given this book only three stars as I have judged it as a novel/entertainment. But I actually think the book is more of a biography, even if the protagonist is fictive.

In the prologue Robin Cook acknowledges the reality of the content and how it is based upon his own experience as a young intern. Although a lot has happened in medicine since then, Dr. Cook emphasizes that the experiences of an intern during that year are still more or less the same. Hence "The Year of the Intern" is basically very accurate.

This book is a very medical book. Almost mirrorizing what goes on in all departments of a large busy hospital day and night. Detailed descriptions of cases, treatment, operations, medication. Everything that goes on behind the scenes. Serious - at times brutal - sad, heartwarming, touching.

My most important message to new readers is that the book is not an entertaining novel - medical thriller - for laymen. Unless one has a special interest in or background from medicine, this book is easily boring, full of detailed medical technicalities and observations/spesific medical terms.

There are no chapters and few paragraphs.

Many of the cases described, are so tough and realistic that it's hard to see how they will prove as entertainment to ordinary readers - or any readers at all, for that matter.

Five stars for readers from the inside medical world. Three or less for seekers of the fascinating fictional medical thriller.
