A page-turner
If you like medical mysteries this is for you. The style of the writing carries you along and I had cut short one afternoon so that I could get back to carry on reading. I only wish it was much, much longer. I read it on Kindle so I can't estimate how many pages it had. All the medical mysteries were explained as the medics got to grips with the various tests, without being overly complicated for the lay person. I will have to seek out any other titles from this author.

Nice small chapters, pretty good read
Nice small chapters which allows you to read but without having to read big chunks before putting it down to do jobs, it was interesting also.

Not what I expected
I did not finish this book. I found it very hard to stay focused on it. Somw people would love this find of thing but I just found it to be repeating itself with each patient story and nothing really to exciting or much drama through it

Brilliantly written, intensely enjoyable.
Terrific writing and fascinating detective stories. I then went to Dr. Sanders' earlier book "Every Patient Tells a Story" which is one of the finest books I have ever read. First, her writing is superb, lovely to read and actually often thrilling in her clarity and honesty. The breadth of information she provides is brilliantly organized, so the reader is receiving an immensely enjoyable education while engaged with reading for pleasure. An amazing doctor and an amazing book. Do read that too!

Fascinating stories
The content of the book was fascinating and explored a wide array of uncommon diagnoses. The book was well written and researched. The cases were quite short with some detail which is great for the average reader however I would have liked a little more detail on the mechanism of each illness. All in all this was a fantastic read.
