A review by flarnie
The House of God by Samuel Shem

5.0

An easy five stars, very obvious why it's more or less required reading for doctors. It has less attractive parts, like its depiction of women, but it's one of those books where it's easy for me to keep two thoughts in my head at once - I dislike all that, but it doesn't detract for how accurate, funny, and human the rest of it is. It's both entertaining and sparks reflection, just fantastic.
