Took me ages to finish it, and I didn't want to quit it in the hopes that it'd get better, but.. oh well! While a few parts were moving, unfortunately, overall, the book failed to induce any strong emotions, which I was expecting it would. The unnecessarily lengthy chapters gave the impression as if the author was only trying to fulfill some word count....more

Misspelled Urdu words irked me a little too much!

While the book keeps one hooked because you really wish to know what the patients go through, it becomes a little too repetitive at times.
Major turn While the book keeps one hooked because you really wish to know what the patients go through, it becomes a little too repetitive at times.
Major turn off for me was the creep doctor vibes it gave every time a female patient case was discussed 鈥� it felt uncomfortable to read how unnecessarily the focus would be on their appearance. Ugh. ...more
