Informative. Harold Gillies was clearly a wonderful man, and I’m glad he was in this world. Glad I read it.

As with many nonfiction books written for general audiences, I found myself appreciating the information and the overall shape of the narrative while being immensely irritated by the repetition of facts that had already been told.
