Admissions: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh

3.0

I received this book for free in a Goodreads giveaway. I do not know exactly what I was expecting from this book, but what I read was not it. That being said, it wasn't a bad book. I feel as if the title is misleading since he spoke a lot about his personal life and told many stories about his work but never any "admissions". Maybe I assumed wrongly that admissions would be more entertaining. He had an interesting career and I enjoyed reading about it but also put it many references to his political and religious beliefs. I agreed with some of them but I didn't really care to read about them, at least not in the context of this book. The way the book was organized confused me at first. He jumps front being in different countries and from being retired to not. In the end, I just had to not care that it was unorganized and choppy. I might have enjoyed it more if I didn't go in expecting something completely different.
