I thoroughly enjoyed this book even though it can be a little heavy on the medicalese at times. Despite not having a medical background I was still able to follow along. 

This story is full of great quotables and the final portion of the second half of the book is enough to make a grown man cry.

It was a good read and heartbreaking, but some things just fell a little flat for me. The part that resonated with me the most was the epilogue.
