Reading this book I was surprised at the US health care system as it seemed to mirror the NHS in UK which was not what I expected. being medical I was unsurprised at his thoughts of his treatment and thought he articulated them very well. Having also been a patient I could easily relate to them. As the book progresses and he talks about poetry and music I could really relate to that too. How often do we find solace in art and culture. How it makes things more acutely relevent to us and how we relate to the world. I enjoyed reading about how L came to terms with his partners health and how he adapted. How everything was affected by this
It became almost inspirational.
A thought provoking book
I would have preferred people to have names rather than initials
There were also a number of formating issues which at times made the book hard to read and some spelling errors (leaks instead of leeks for example, there were others)
