Helpful Score: 2

I was really looking forward to this book, because I find the subject matter very interesting and the author had such a good 'resume', so to speak. However, I really disliked the writing style. There were pages and pages of back story that didn't seem to add anything to the overall plot...they felt like filler and were hard to read. It also seemed bizarre that the doctor would have jumped to a Munchausen's diagnosis after the first hospital visit, with no prior hospital visits or anything really to point to that.

I ended up doing what a previous reviewer did -- I started skimming the book, just to get the salient points and to find out what happened in the end. Oh well -- it wasn't terrible but it wasn't a fabulous read.
