2.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Newly Diagnosed Hepatitis C Patient., September 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hepatitis C: A Personal Guide to Good Health (Paperback)

This book is good reading for the person who knows nothing about the Hepatitis C Virus. For the patient who knows even the slightest about HCV, this book will not be of much help. I personally feel that this book was thrown together in a week or two without much thought put into it. Some of the website URLS are not correct.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Extremely Readable Book Full of Important Information, October 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Hepatitis C: A Personal Guide to Good Health (Paperback)

This book was obviously written after much research into the Hepatitis C virus and made to be very readable for the average person. After reading it, I was amazed at how much I learned about this dreadful disease which afflicts so many Americans, and will continue to afflict many more in the future. There are few books available on this topic at any bookstore, so it was a pleasure to find one so easy to understand, but that was also highly endorsed by one of the top physicians in this field.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has the virus, or to anyone who knows someone afflicted with Hepatitis C. Well worth the money.
