sfletcher26 's review for:
Complications: A Surgeon's Notes on an Imperfect Science
by Atul Gawande
An interresting book but there's nothing here that has been written before.
Update to previous review.
I've been thinking about this book and wondering why I wasn't as impressed with it as I thought I would be as so many of my friends had been.
as I said in my original piece there was nothing in the book that hadn't been written before but what I should have added is ' and done better'. This is less a criticism of Gawanda per se as a reflection of the genius of the late Oliver Sacks who in many ways pioneered this narrative style of writing. Gawanda is good but Sacks, for me, is better.
