I am positive that the minimum rating of one out of four stars is enough to alert David Soh Poh Huat that Care Giving Gift of Unconditional Love needs another round of editing to fix the glaring errors that characterize its pages. The book attempts to create awareness of the state of a hospicentric facility and the caregivers that work in such facilities.

I found more than ten grammatical and typographical errors, which informed my belief that the book is not professionally edited. So glaring are the errors that I had to re-read several statements to understand the author's argument. This detracted from my enjoyment of the book because my reading was unnecessarily slowed down to a point that the book became boring. Moreover, the errors are evenly distributed across the subsequent pages, which resulted in a constant re-reading of the entire text, an exercise that I found rather tedious for an averagely short text.

The book's plot development is equally poorly done, something that I liked least in the book. In the initial pages of the book, the author promises an engaging discussion on the clients that he had to work with, who had health-related challenges but finally made it through the healing process. However, the testimonials appear towards the end of the book as mere paragraphs that simply appear to have been rushed through. I, therefore, found his arguments rather far-fetched because they lacked clear empirical data to justify the author's arguments. This lack of detail made me poke a lot of holes in the author's discussion, which suggested that poor preparations and research were put into the production of this book.

Care Giving Gift of Unconditional Love attempts to present the reader with the poor state of caregiving in the contemporary world. The author argues that the siblings of ailing parents often believe employing a caregiver or taking their patient to a hospice is enough. However, he compares the provision of palliative care at home with the provisions available in a hospice and faults the latter for acts of negligence.

There is nothing that I liked most about this book. I cannot recommend this book to any reader owing to the issues that I have mentioned earlier. I recommend another round of professional editing and proofreading, which will rid the book of a significant number of errors. I also believe that the author should reorganize his plot so that the book gains a smooth development and thus an excellent storyline. More details should be provided of the patients that the author dealt with since doing this will give the author's claims a sense of authenticity.

A book that attempts to create awareness on the state of a hospicentric facility and the caregivers that work in such facilities would have been such a great read if not for the errors and poor plot the reviewer complained about. I live the honesty of the review.

Its a book that tries to explain what love truly means. It explains that love is not just about lust but is about care trust and hope.
