I enjoyed reading this book as it was well-written with only a few minor errors. I liked that Officers Henry and Harmony had more than one case to work on and had to determine if they were connected. I appreciate the author pointing out that obesity is caused by many factors that people can't control.

I was surprised that this book was recommended on Amazon for ages 14-18. It does not come across as a young adult novel to me.

[Rishaunda Lynnette Britton]

I would rate the book five out of five stars. I liked the writing style. It is simple, engaging and accessible. The cover is just okay and I found the title quite interesting. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

[Seetha E]

I rated it a 3/4 or a 4/5, owing to the number of errors I found in the book.

[Benedict Goh]

I rated it as a 3 out of 4 stars due to the unique and quirky central themes of botany and medicine, as well as the refreshing characters. However, the ending was quite lackluster, feeling more like a Q&A than an actual climax. That said, the writing was down-to-earth and simple, which was a breath of fresh air, hence the overall rating of 3 out of 4.

What factors are most important to you when rating a book? I know for me, typos is a biggie. I also want an engaging story line.

[Kutloano Makhuvhela]

I am yet to read it, but judging from other people's glowing reviews, I think I will enjoy it very much. I must say, there was many things about it, like the cover, title, and prologue that captured my attention. Can't wait to dig in and find for myself.

[Miriam Abril Villa]

The book was a good murder mystery with a solid hook that captured your attention. The writing style was appealing. There was never a boring moment in the novel because there was always a new twist in the story development. The characters had good back stories. What I find disappointing was the ending which was kind of obscure and hazy. The title was appertaining to Dr. Johal's dicey situation. The cover was satisfactory. A lesson I could take away from the narrative is not "to judge a book by its cover." I would recommend Bless your Heart to others.
