Jessica Cashen (1 KP) rated The Bone Curse (Benjamin Oris, #1) in Books
May 16, 2018
Excellent read. Well written, with a great plot and characters. I was engrossed from start to finish. I couldn't put it down. This book is a supernatural suspenseful thriller. Ben Oris is a sensible, medical student until he cuts his hand on a old bone in the catacombs of Paris. The cut becomes a horrible wound that leads him into a world of Voodoo curses that threatens everything he knows and loves. He doesn't have to do this alone, he has his best friend Laurette to help him through this nightmare.
Ruth Frampton (577 KP) rated Vincent the Vixen: A Story to Help Children Learn about Gender Identity in Books
Apr 10, 2018
a short, illustrated book with supporting (teachers/parents) questions. This subject matter may not be seen by all as appropriate for the apparent target age of this book, however, having such a resource to turn to in order to support an individual questioning their gender at a young age is an invaluable resource. Sensitively approached, from a "safe" point of view of a family the main character is encouraged and supported throughout.
Definitely a book to have in all school and alongside medical professionals who work in this field.

As the title suggest, the book is the true account of the activities of medical pathologist Dr. Simeon and his secretary Molly Lefebure (who is also the author of the book) ,during the Second World War . The book describes several murder investigations during this time and it is interesting to see who ordinary crime did not stop simply because there was a war on.
Overall the book gives the reader a fascinating insight into forensics during WWII in England and is a definitely a must read for these with a interest forensics from this period.

Briannabrown1019 (799 KP) rated Brain on Fire (2016) in Movies
Jul 12, 2018
I actually really enjoyed this film. I have a special place in my heart for medical mysteries and was intrigued when I saw this was based on a true story. I hadn't heard anything about this girl or her disease before watching this, so I can honestly say I learned something too! I think the main actress did a really great job portraying the symptoms and the breakdown of the main character. Overall an 8/10 for me because as I loved the story, it did drag in a few places.
MoMoBookDiary (20 KP) rated Making Faithful Decisions at the End of Life in Books
Oct 1, 2018
Nancy Duff, in the context of Christian faith, raises a number of questions for believers to take into account regarding death and making informed end-of-life decisions.
I found this book very helpful in raising questions based on faith as opposed to other books on the subject that have been more medical based.
Certainly a book worth reading and contemplating even if you yourself are not actively concerned about your own end of life. It helps the reader see other considerations that someone facing the end of life will be thinking about.
