Eye Opening
Insight into the life of a neurosurgeon
Couldn't put it down
An account of the day to day experiences of a Neurosurgeon.
This is one of those books that leave an impression, that you want to hold on to.
I read this a while ago but some of it has stuck with me. In particular the essence of what is needed to carry out such a role. Determination, detachment, emotional resilience, precision and commitment. After reading this I had the utmost respect for the author.
He describes the in depth training that allows him to be in the position to carry out intricate procedures that have life-changing consequences. He shares his experiences from start to finish of dealing with patients and their families, explaining diagnoses, assessing symptoms, weighing up benefits and risks of surgery, the surgery itself (heart in mouth stuff), family reactions and his perspective on the prognosis.
There are cases where he cures and cases where he can only postpone the inevitable. For what he does he is simultaneously revered, loved, persecuted and hated...and I thought teaching was tough 😉
An amazing book.

The Rock and explosions - what else do you need?
Certainly not Die Hard or The Towering Inferno; however, if you suspend your disbelief and just go along for the ride, the movie works as a gripping actioner.
Somehow The Rock manages to continually pick movies for himself that he is able to carry on his shoulders and this one is no exception. He does his job, makes you believe in his cause and hope for him to succeed.
Hope he doesn't fall!

A not too bad direct to DVD sequel. You don't need to have seen the first as it doesn't carry on any of that storyline, apart from the department store. As with most straight to DVD horror sequels you can expect more blood, gore, kills and nudity with a lesser known cast. The first half was ok, after that the story is way too simple and predictable. Slightly different feel to the atmospheric first. The gore effects are good though. Worth a rent if you liked the first.

I have read 1-9 in this series so far and so this review covers 1-9. This is one of the best yaoi series I have read. I am defintely going to carry on with collecting the rest of the series as it hasn't let me down yet. I like all of the characters and the stories are all great in their own way. The first book is a little slow but book 2 picks things up very well. Highly recommended to lovers of Yaoi! I wasn't disappointed!
