Cutting for Stone

Abraham Verghese

I really enjoyed this book.  It was long, but well worth it.  There were times that it would probably be a bit wordy and descriptive in the medical parts, but I of course liked those parts.  I thought it was well written throughout the various stages of the main character's life.  I think that must be hard to do, it seems like usually the childhood will be really well done, but not the adulthood or vice versa.  This was a great read, very worth the time a longer book requires.
