5.0 out of 5 stars A book that could change your life, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Arrowsmith (Modern Classic) (Hardcover)
Read Arrowsmith early in life, and you'll want to become a doctor, marry a Leora, and read everything else Sinclair Lewis wrote. While not "fashionable," Arrowsmith's search for truth and his relationship with Leora are far beyond any politically correct world view. The writing is incredible. When I first read it (a dozen or so times ago), I could not fathom how any writer could be so creative, so different, so perfect. Give it to your favorite teenager. You could change his or her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opening our eyes to a world so wide, yet so common., 26 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Sinclair Lewis, in his novel, ARROWSMITH, reflects the common ordinary feelings that every student of graduate studies and those from junior colleges face, self confidence. Upon graduation, I always feared of making th grade in the real world. His charecters are among us, the chapters are metaphors of our own lives and dreams. Do read it and see the reflections Lewis carries to you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pulitzer or not, this is a prized favorite., 26 Sep 1995
By A Customer
This review is from: Arrowsmith (Modern Classic) (Hardcover)
While reading some older pulitzer winner's, I found a copy of "Arrowsmith" and decided to plunge in. This is a deliteful story about an ambitious young doctor in the 1920's, and his struggle to find a "worthy" use of his medical skills. A thinly veiled contempt for commercialized medicine runs throughout the story, but never gets too "preachy". A very good choice for any med student or young doctor, or anyone at all.
