2.5 stars.
Not a book i would have usually picked up - it was a book for bookclub.
Now, I don’t think this was a bad book at all, and I even debated 3 stars BUT it felt just like a family’s story. I didn’t get drawn in till about 300 pages, and I was waiting forAlice and Williams conversation which she didn’t even give me! When the book ended I thought there would be one more chapter and could at least feel satisfied. Instead I got to the last page and said “the f*ck”.
Most things I found to be predicable too and it just wasn’t surprising,minus Alice getting a tumour - but I knew someone was going to have an extra twist, just wasn’t sure who.

I consumed via audio-book.
For anyone open to learning about health in general - this is a must read. I enjoyed how he didn't force his ideologies onto you and didn't talk about what not to do.. but how certain things benefit you and some don't. It's a lot of information. I would almost want to physically read it so I could make notes on everything as I felt I would forget what he said.
