Character is the basic thing needed by every successful person to maintain their position or go higher. It is difficult to see a long-lasting success in a person without character. McDowell by William H. Coles is a lesson-filled fictional book with other themes that concern our world today. This book is very easy to relate to and will be enjoyed by many readers.

Dr. Hiram is a surgeon and was elected Regent to the Board of Directors of the International College of Surgeons. He wasn’t satisfied with the position and wanted to be the president of the college. Then he approached Michael, who was also a key member of the executive committee. Michael was reluctant to accept his proposition, but with the enticing offer from Hiram, he accepted, only to be betrayed on the day of induction. Hiram is a professional who is nonchalant about everything, including family affairs. How would his lifestyle affect his profession? How did Michael handle the situation? Read more in the main book.

I love how the book started by telling us briefly about his family, and from the information I got from there, I began to understand better the character, Hiram. This novel is filled with drama, action, twists, and suspense, which is why I was so engrossed in the read. Promises look easy to make and break, but their effects could be very dangerous. This was a lesson I learned. I do have this emotion when I come across a book with a single-word title. It comes with a lot of questions, and then I am left with no other option than to read it. I loved the way the characters conversed; it was like a live show. The characters were developed; nothing was lacking within them. I loved how the chapters were short. The story was well thought out, and I commend the author for a job well done.

I was concerned about Dr. Hiram's behavior and how he became a surgeon. It felt like little details were given about his personal life. This is just a minor observation that did not affect the general flow of the book. And because of the numerous likes above, I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

This book was well divided into parts and was also free of errors, which shows that the book was well edited. I recommend this book to lovers of fiction and drama.

I appreciate that the author did not make the book long for readers. MC Dowell is a book I will recommend to lovers of drama also. The book will make a great book with its plot. Thanks for this review. I enjoyed reading it.

The opening sentence in this review was quite catchy. Dr Hiram should find a balance between his family life and work life. Giving attention to both is paramount to having a peaceful life.

Dr Hiram seems like a horrible person that will do anything to succeed. I would like to read this book to find out more about him. Thanks for the review.

Indeed character is very important in life. But sadly, some people don't know that. What will this book, McDowell, teach me about character? Great review.

This is quite an interesting review and you are right. Once a person does not have a good character, to maintain success will be hard. Nice review!

This book really shows the genius of the author. I lived the flow of the book and all it entails about medicine and how it works.

Being betrayed is disheartening especially from someone you trust. I'm curious to know how Michael will react to this. Thanks for the intriguing review.

Character is one thing that is very much overlooked in the pursuit of life. But it is still commended when seen. Friendship is also a great element in life that one can't do without. This is a good book and has great reviews

McDowell" by William H. Coles is a book good for people who enjoy reading books on fiction. Arriving at success is difficult to achieve for one with bad character.
