Yeah I agree with you on this. The pictures are the end of the book was off for me. I guess the author had a reason why she had done it that way.

I did not expect any picture at the end of this book anyways but i would have preferred and loved it more if the pictures where contained within the pages of this book rather than at the end.

I think it was great way to tie up the ending. The various images force you to recall events described in the book (kind of like a recap), and the visual element delivers an extra touch of emotion that feels fitting to send us off to pursue our own journeys with healthcare.

cd20 wrote: 05 Jun 2021, 16:16 Dr. Regis includes pages of pictures at the end of the book, with captions explaining the picture. Do you prefer the way she did this, at the end of the book? Or would you prefer the pictures to be in place in the story? For me, I would prefer them to be in the story when she is talking about a particular incident, instead of all lumped together at the end.
I agree with you on this. The pictures seem to be out of context due to where it was placed.

What an interesting visual presentation. I liked the way it was presented and did not object to the way it was laid out. With the graphics and explanations at the conclusion, it felt to me like a summation of the book. I find it easier to read without getting sidetracked when there are things I need to look at towards the conclusion, such as images and other visual elements.

In my opinion, I would prefer the piece if the picture were part of the storyline. Although I believe her reasons for including this at the end were to avoid confusion and make reading fluent.

Both pictures at the begining of the book and at the end each has a unique twist it add to the book. As for Dr Regis, putting pictures at the end of the book made me fill relieved and put to my rememberance what I've learned so far in the book.

I also would have preferred the pictures being in text than at the end of the book. But however brushing over them after reading the book was just a fresh air, as you be recalling things you've read as you look.

I agree with your point of view. I feel it would have been better had she added it when talking about that thing in particular. It would have helped the readers’ understanding.

In my opinion, I would like the pictures to be in the context of the story. I really didn't like the author's idea to include the pictures at the end of the novel.

I would have preferred the pictures right there in the story. That way, the readers won’t feel lost. We have people with short term memo who wouldn’t remember how to correlate what they had read with the picture.

I would have preferred having pictures in the context. It makes reading fun. Having it at the end felt like a photo album addition.
