Title: Unappealing Narrator
Product review: I really wanted to like this book, and I wanted to like the narrator, because she has been through hell with her diabetes. But I found her attitudes toward the medical profession and her family hard to empathize with. She comes across as selfish and self-absorbed. A good medical narrative should offer some perspective on the "big picture," I feel, not just the world of the patient. She's a competent writer, but she's hampered by her "This happened and then that happened," prose style, and never looks into what others might be thinking and feeling. The prose began to feel so robotic, and so humorless, I found myself skipping paragraphs.
