A review by smesnake
The Children's Hospital by Chris Adrian

2.0

I kept hoping to discover the "best fiction of 2006" aspect of this book but was sorely disappointed. (New York Times, you really dropped the ball on this one) It basically reads like what it is, the ramblings of a former UCSF hospital intern turned divinity student, a hodge-podge of medical anomalies and random Old Testament metaphors. Too long, the last 200 pages were torturous.
