A review by vegantrav
Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis

4.0

No murders or other crimes, no intrigue, no beautiful romances, no falls from grace, and no plot, yet this novel is nonetheless a fascinating character study of the eponymous Arrowsmith. Martin Arrowsmith himself is a fairly unexceptional physician and scientist—neither a genius nor a dullard but quite average apart from his ambition to make some type of important contribution to science—but in the hands of a talented writer like Sinclair Lewis, Arrowsmith springs to vivid life from the pages, and we readers come to care very much for him.
