A review by hamantha
The House of God by Samuel Shem

Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.

I cannot do it. I cant. This book is disgusting. Like I can tolerate a lot of gross in the name of something amazing but…this book is not about medicine. It’s about sex, and women that have no purpose other than to act as sex objects. Not to mention the gross way the author describes everything…I don’t want to hear about women “with the face of an eight year old” being described in the way they are. In the end, the “message” that’s trying to be sent about medicine isn’t worth the rest of the grossness.
