Very good and at times scary book to read. It went fast as each little chapter tells a complete story. Gives you a lot of food for thought and an insight into the world of medicine from a doctor's point of view.

I enjoyed the book, yes it was a bit confusing time wise and I started to go back to check when the last entry was made but after awhile I just gave up and read it not really concerned when the events were happening. I was immediately drawn to the way she writes and couldn't put the book down. Debated re swapping as I really liked it but figured I should let others enjoy it as much as I did. I was hooked from the beginning, I enjoy time travel stories and am not at all into romance books.
