Penelope J. Parisi said Educational and enjoyable. I enjoyed this book because, while it was written for the lay person, it was not condescending and very readable. In full disclosure, Dr. Kaloostian operated on my husband. He was professional yet very kind and that was reflected in the book.

After reading this it makes me appreciate him and his work even more. I recommend you reading this.
