georginatomlinson's review against another edition

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

Very informative and a great lay out someone interested in the body with a huge biology background. Well paced and a good blend of personal and historical stories and medical explanations. But don't read this is if you have a weak stomach or get upset by descriptions of illness or depressing statistics.
