The House of God by Samuel Shem

dark funny medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

While this book does a competent enough job of deconstructing the myth of the sacred medical professional, the humour could have been delivered in a manner that was far less crass and episodic, which these elements had severely compromised the reading experience to appreciate this book.
