Yes, it is an interesting readcharmperit wrote: ↑15 Nov 2018, 13:11 Nice review! I like reading stories about doctors. They were always portrayed as the profession that doesn't get much time for themselves (sleep or leisure time) to save other people's lives. So I think this would be interesting to read about a selfish doctor.

I agree with you @LunastellaLunastella wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 17:48 I totally empathize. I hated Hiram with every fiber of my being, which is probably high praise to the author for being able to convey such strong emotions. But I agree, it's great that the author shows a path to redemption and the book is masterfully developed.
Thank you for your analytical review.

Always my pleasure @ButterscotchCherrieButterscotchCherrie wrote: ↑05 Apr 2019, 04:58 It must be satisfying to read of someone falling to great depths of greed and self-centeredness but then finding redemption. Your emotional response to this anti-hero came across clearly; thanks for your thorough review.

Thank you for your analytical review.Hiram is one unlovable character, so unlikable that I thought I will not be able to finish it, but thank God I did, thus come up with this review
Thanks for reading and commenting dear
always a pleasure to have you
Best regard@Lunastella
I was really tempted to just drop the book, I just finished it because it was Book of the Month

Thank youParadoxicalWoman wrote: ↑20 Apr 2019, 03:05 Such a candid and thorough review. I enjoyed reading this book and I even think that Hiram got what he deserved. He can run but he can't hide away forever.
