whew. this one unsettles you. it’s very very good. there are some things i think could’ve been handled better, but overall it was very powerful and very interesting. the structure of the book is very engaging, and each character is interesting. there were some places where the prose was clunky and awkward but im chalking that up to translation.

I really loved this book. Each caracter is very diffrent in personnality and in backgroung which alouses us to have a very complete view of the hospital. I learned a lot of things and will surely remember this book for a long time.
