This is one a the few books I haven't ever finished reading. The only other one I can think of is "Last of the Mohicans". It is slow and not very interesting of a story. I was looking forward to reading it and am very disappointed. Maybe when it was written it was cutting edge but not anymore.

Classic book by Sinclair Lewis. Gives an accurate depiction of the state of medicine and science in the 1920s America. Highly recommended historical fictions for homeschoolers or highschoolers interested in the history of medicine or science in America. Engaging characters and a wealth of issues raised about the morality of medical experiments, about the nature of scientists, about the place of doctors in society.
