Negative Positive
Title: Decent book, lousy ending
Review: A rallying cry against managed health care, Critical Conditions examines what one family is willing to do in order to get a toddler the care she needs in order to survive a rare virus. Alan Gregory, a shrink brought in to consult on a case connected to the baby's family, is a fun character, even if he is a bit of a pushover. The writing was good, even if the suspense storylines were on the dull/preposterous side. What took a lot of wind out of the sails of this book was the stultifying ending. Beyond stupid, the last three chapters took this book from interesting to laughable.
