emotional funny hopeful informative lighthearted sad fast-paced

I was never prepared for anything this book threw at me. When I prepared for the worst, I ended up laughing. When I was prepared for a funny story, I was hit the hardest.

This book is poignant and beautiful and fucking hilarious. Adam Kay is brilliant, and his writing style is fabulous. If you get the chance to see him live- which I have- do it!

This was such an interesting and emotional read. There‘s the right balance between funny and tragic stories. It also provides an accurate insight into the way people working in a medical institution are treated by patients, the government and colleagues.

emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

3 hours 6 minutes - This book was not what I was expecting, as it was so much better, so much more engaging, and so much more insightful than anything I had expected. The writing style is funny but provides so much insight into how the NHS runs and the way doctors experience daily life. It was so heart-breaking in places, yet hilarious in others. I don't usually enjoy reading non-fiction, as I often find it boring and hard-to-read, but none of these problems applied to this book at all. I loved it.

This book was hilarious as it was heartbreaking! It simultaneously increased my love for the NHS and disgust for the government. Adam Kay is very quick-witted and creates a perfect balance between funny and horrific stories
