Very Enlightening

Revisado: 09-24-24

I really enjoyed this book. I learned a lot about NHS doctors in the UK. One thing that really surprised me is the incredible low pay these guys get. That's really depressing and yet I like the fact that they aren't in it for the money. One thing that became extremely clear to me however is why my Aussie customers call the Brits "The Whingeing Poms" they truly are a whiny bunch. I do take into consideration the style that this book was written in, and I enjoyed the satirical humor, but there is no doubt in my mind now that the Brits indeed are a whiny bunch lol.

Interesting story. Terrible narrator

Revisado: 09-04-24

I've listened to Pappy Boyingtons book and I really enjoyed it. This was a great story also, and would've been a 5 star if it would've had a good narrator. The narrator has a complete and total disregard for punctuation and delivers the story in the same tone of voice with terrible inflection. Lots of times the reader doesn't know when a different character is talking as the tone never changes.

Exceptional Story

Revisado: 05-16-22

I like Ken Follett, but some of his work can become long and tedious. Not so with this novel. It has it all, intrigue, suspense, mystery, and fast paced with lots of danger. Amazing book

Just Not that great

Revisado: 12-16-21

I'm a huge Dean Koontz fan, but this book just doesn't have it. I wouldn't waste a credit. Instead read his Odd Thomas books. Those are great

I liked it

The cop stories were real great, however I bought the book for exactly that. the author got off topic pretty bad several times so that's the reason for 3 stars

Interesting story, but OH MY WORD!.....the cynicis

Revisado: 09-30-21

I am a huge fan of first responder books so this one was interesting. I am taking off two stars for the cynicism this paramedic shows towards the UK public in general. I wish she could have just told her story and experiences without that. The reader would have been left with a fascinating insight into the life and work of prehospital care. Instead we are given a picture of the darkest side of humanity throughout the book. It seems like she simply cannot refrain from exploring each person's behavioral failures......even the bystanders. Particularly the women who was left laying on the ground all day long in a busy shopping center. Despite the recent trouble, that would have never happened in America. I will say that she did show alot of compassion towards this lady and I do believe that Lisa is a very compassionate and caring medic. The book just could have been so much better

Could've been so much better

Revisado: 09-15-21

I'm not gonna say I didn't like it which is why I gave it three stars, but honestly I've listened to alot of First responder books and I own the whole Nightwatch show about New Orleans EMS. This book is anticlimactic. It only covers a few calls and far too much detail is outlined in each call. The guy that wrote this book sounds like a great medic, but he simply needed help writing this book. With all his years of experience there could've been a much richer experience to be had by the reader. I didn't count them, but I'm guessing he only went over approximately 10 calls in this book, and the ones he went over were just explained too lengthy. This is EMS! He is a Paramedic! This should've been fast paced and riveting, but instead meh....like I said... anticlimactic. It may have been due to the narrator also, very slow delivery and mispronounced New Orleans the whole time. Still with all that being said I guess I enjoyed it......kinda. I am fascinated by The Big Easy so maybe that's why it was ok.

Riveting

Revisado: 06-16-21

A very fascinating history of the electric chair told in a manner which allows for a much broader view to be taken of not only old sparky, but the controversial and terrifying fact of the ultimate penalty.

Hilarious

Revisado: 01-29-21

so unique but the dry humor is what sets it apart. It'd be fun to live around the main character

PCT Adventure

Revisado: 03-24-20

This is something I will do before I die. At the moment I am busy giving four others the childhood I had, so I live these kind of experiences through the eyes of others. Thank you for working for me to give me a tale of adventure and self discovery
