What did you love best about Oxygen?
The topic is unique to any other books I've read.What was one of the most memorable moments of Oxygen?
The plot thickens with a surprising twist.Which character – as performed by Jennifer Ikeda – was your favorite?
All the characters are well developed with backgrounds that emerge as you read.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I could never sit and listen to a whole book at once but it always captured my interest.Any additional comments?
Because I work in a hospital, the medical detail was very interesting for me. But even for those without any medical background you should find the details interesting as they are given in a way that heightens the human emotion.Great medical detail.

What made the experience of listening to Oxygen the most enjoyable?
The story line touched my heart. Dr. Marie Heaton truly cares about her patients, and when her young patient dies on the operating table, she is faced with a malpractice suit. The mystery behind the cause of that death and Marie's doubts about her care of that patient and possible responsibly for her death, made this book a good listen.Who was your favorite character and why?
Dr. Heaton. She searches for clues that will explain the cause of the death of her patient and feels empathy for the young mother whose daughter's life has ended after what should have been a simple surgery.What aspect of Jennifer Ikeda’s performance would you have changed?
I can't say that Jennifer's performance was bad, but her sweet voice sounded a little too young and innocent to portray a doctor who had been out of medical school for 6 years. She also mispronounced several medical terms which was somewhat distracting.Who was the most memorable character of Oxygen and why?
Of course the main character, Marie. I felt a lot of compassion for her while she fought to understand and piece together the cause of her patient's death, while also dealing with the personal crisis of her father's declining health and the relationship she has with her former lover and colleague, Dr. Joe Hillary.Any additional comments?
When I first started listening to this book, I wasn't sure that I was going to like it. Dr. Heaton's character was a little too good to make the story believable and the medical descriptions were a little too detailed, but with time, the story evolves and there are twists and turns that kept my interest up. The end of this book was a mixture of happy ending and sad ending. This is definitely not a "feel good" book, but over-all it was a good story that I enjoyed listening to it and would recommend it to my friend's.Good story

Would you consider the audio edition of Oxygen to be better than the print version?
I have not read the book but I really enjoyed the listen.Any additional comments?
This is a thought provocking story with an unexpected but well organized ending. I like stories that make me think and remind me that when I am young and don't know what I don't know, I make different decisions than I will make later after I learn.We all need Oxygen and Love
