I loved this book, though the intellectual level of the prose was sometimes difficult to grasp with just one reading. Hence I read some sections a number of times, and it was well worth it.

This is a beautiful book, and a bold and affecting one. Kleinman works miracles with a breadth of information and with bushels of compassion; he has wisdoms to offer up on every page. Fully delivers on the sterling promise of its title, and then some.
