Admissions: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh
Marsh's first book, 'Do No Harm,' was so good that it would seem almost impossible to write a followup of equal quality. And while this book was somewhat interesting, it did not engage me nearly as much as his debut.
The first book was an engrossingly hardcore look at brain surgery and a life whose waking hours were spent mostly in a National Health hospital. In the second, we cover a lot of the same ground, with some additional chapters much more mundane in their subject matter. The man is still an excellent writer, but in this effort the subject matter just didn't sparkle as it did in his first book.
