This book is really interesting. I expected it to be far more prejudiced about women/people from different religions. But it was really well researched and really open about different types of people.
The book more or less tells the story of Robs entire life and his medical journy, during which I grew to absolutely love the characters.
The writing style was incredible and captivating aswell!
In the beginning there are some prejudices that come from the characters (as in during dialoge or descriptions) but especially the main character grows up to be more open and kind during the book.
