I took a chance with this book. I liked it, it dragged on in parts, but it was a great story all around. I my not be familiar with most of the medical terms, and procedures that were described in the story but it doesn't leave you going what the heck is she talking about?! Not a quick read.

I just finished reading Oxygen and it it certainly worth reading, espcially if you are a member of a pediatric medical care team. Very well written and heart reaching. A good and educational read.

Good first novel, though it does get off to a slightly slow start with two chapters of day to day things before any of the action really begins. The first two chapters could have been easily eliminatd without affecting the story.
Overall good story about a tragic incident and the painful aftermath. Written in first person - done very well. Very good literary novel debut.
