False view of medical care

Revisado: 11-06-21

I was a ICU nurse for 10 years before I got a masters as. FNP. From there I went to med school and became a general surgeon. This story is ridiculous and unlike anything I experienced as an ICU nurse or surgeon. Nurses and Physicians work as a professional team. The nurse who went from different units is not factual. Each area requires special training. Nurses do not bounce from ER to ICU to floor. Each area is an unique area of expertise and requires training. I have nothing but respect for nurses but this story gives a false idea of competition between the members of highly trained staff…physicians, nurses, aids, ancillary staff such as respiratory staff. Not once have I seen a bunch of physicians in the ER together at the desk. Every ER I ever worked at was busy and we all worked as a team. I don’t know who you talked to James Patterson but this is bullshit and I didn’t make it thru the first chapter.

One of the best stories I’ve ever read. I’ve read so many stories of WWII. My father in a B17 “The Uninvited” helped to free France and was there at DDay. This book describes what the ppl of France endured in a horrific war. It’s personal and heart wrenching. It makes history come alive. I highly recommend this story. The characters are real and alive.

Brilliant new series

Revisado: 09-04-18

The Pitt saga lives on. Daniel Pitt is a delightful blend of lawyer and detective. His pairing with An experienced lawyer makes the story even more fascinating. I can’t wait to read the next book. I do hope Jemima, Thomas, Charlotte and the rest of this delightful family will be seen in future episodes. I shall miss Lady Vespasia. Bravo!

My favorite series

Revisado: 08-31-18

These books get better and better. The subject is apropos in light of today’s current events. The only thing lacking is a film based on these books.

What did you love best about Friday on My Mind?

Twists and turns galore.

What did you like best about this story?

The psychological insight into human behavior. Frieda is maddening sometimes but always fascinating. All the characters are well defined. They are people I'd like to know.

Any additional comments?

I'm totally hooked on this series. Can't wait for the next book.

Oh, Maisie, Maisie, Maisie

Revisado: 06-28-16

Would you be willing to try another book from Jacqueline Winspear? Why or why not?

Yes. I'm hooked.

Have you listened to any of Orlagh Cassidy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Usual excellence.

Any additional comments?

Dark and depressing, as is Maisie's life after the shattering of her dreams and hopes. Not a fun book to read but realistic of life and set against the horrific events leading to WWII. I continue to be amazed at the author's insight into human nature....both the good and the bad.

What did you love best about The Mapping of Love and Death?

Usual delightful blend of mystery, history and psychology. Maisie's character continues to grow especially in light of major changes in her life.

Any additional comments?

Deeply sorrowful over the passing of a beloved character. Looking forward to further development of Maisie's personal life. Anticipating the unfolding of the changes in Europe that led to WWII. No other series has captivated me in the way this one does since reading the Lord Peter Wimsey books.
