- Latest Review: The Shanghai Circle by Tony Henderson
This nonfiction book focuses primarily on medical or scientific events. It also naturally integrates biographical details, thereby enhancing understanding of the characters' motivations.
The book's design and title effectively convey the underlying message of optimism and achievement. The novel's title encapsulates the essence of the groundbreaking discovery it describes.
The book First Survivor: The Impossible Childhood Cancer Breakthrough taught me the value of perseverance and collaboration in expanding the boundaries of medicine. The book's emphasis on recent cancer therapy successes inspires optimism for the field's future.
Without question, I would recommend this book to my colleagues and family. It enlightens the reader on a crucial issue, allowing them to comprehend the significance of medical research for children's existence. In addition, it provides hope and motivation to those who are experiencing the same condition, as well as valuable information for doctors and researchers. I will undoubtedly rate it 5 out of 5.

This was great to hear a story of Cancer fighter from a Cancer fighter herself. You must have understood the book from a different perspective than I do. It was great reading your honest comment on the book. Appreciated!Bertha Jackson wrote: ↑05 Aug 2023, 09:22 Although this is a difficult book to read because I am a cancer survivor, I am glad I read it. If Louis's outcome had been different, I probably would not have been able to finish it. However, I could relate to the missed diagnoses because cancer is hard to diagnose. I appreciated the notes that Mark included because they were similar to what I went through. Mark has provided a lot of information to help other cancer victims or caregivers. Mark's honesty in his and Mary Ellen's emotions is commendable. Louis is a precious child, and I am glad they found a cure for him. Unfortunately, due to the errors in the book I had to give this book a 4 out of 5 star rating.

So sorry to hear about your son, Leslie I hope some strong luck comes your (and his!) way!Leslie Kunde wrote: ↑02 Aug 2023, 21:10 I have to be honest; I started the book and had to stop. My son has relapsed acute myeolid leukemia. His chances are not great. I could not keep reading on this subject. Someday I would like to finish this book, but not today.
