In this brutally honest account, one of the country's top neurosurgeons reveals what it is to play god in life-and-death situations. Henry Marsh gives us a rare insight into the intense drama of the operating theatre and the exquisite complexity of the human brain.

Interesting and revealing

Some chapters are better than others, especially the first ones if compared to the last ones... But nonetheless, very good!

Pompous but none the less informative.

I can't say that I loved this book, but I did learn a few things.

an amazing, honest book

Before i listened to this book, i was only a patient...but now i can see everything from a doctor's perspective. I know what it feels like to treat people, to make miracles... And inevitably - to make mistakes. I know now, how real the gift of forgiveness can be. How fragile each life is. And i want to thank Henry Marsh for his honesty, courage and determination! He's a legend. When i go to the hospital now i feel so different. So much better.
