I had heard great things about Mr. Stein his writing style; however, when I actually started to read his book, I found it to be a vast disappointment. While this book discusses the idea of compassion, it doesn't actually show it. Additionally, the characters were very flat and I found their reactions to be emotionless and unfounded, and at times, the narrator's detachment is positively irritating. Morevoer, the plot was very slow, an attribute which Mr. Stein's plodding and self-involved writing style did not alleviate. If it were not for the previously good reviews that gave me the inkling that the text would eventually improve, I would not have read past the first chapter. I hope that the author shows more empathy to his patients than he does to his characters.

This book is just tremendous. The character development and the thought put into this novel is remarkable. Stein is clearly one of the great writers of our time.

This book is marvelous. The book is well written and well thought. It was another great work by Stein. I'm looking forward to more titles by this author. A must for the holidays.
