How Not to Avoid This Book
Excellent and informative. I could not avoid reading this book. Dr. G writes just the way she talks on TV. She's matter-of-fact about taking care of yourself and shows a wonderful sense of humor in spite of her serious job. If you enjoy this type of book, another book that will enlighten you big time is in "I Also Recommend".

Very good book
This was a very interesting and informative book. Being an RN, I was already aware of most of the information in the book, but it was still interesting to read the different case studies she talks about. Would be good for a lay person with no medical backround. Very easy to read and understand when she is talking about anything medical or dealing with the body.

Awesome and Informative Book from an Amazing Doctor!
As a nursing student, I am very interested in medicine, health, and quality of life issues. As I think everybody should - life would be much better for everyone! The concepts are very basic, but Dr. G does an amazing job of explaining medical terms and conditions for those who may have little knowledge of health - and for those of us who do know a little something, sometimes it can get repetitive, BUT repetition is the best possible thing for the issues in the book!
I think EVERYONE should read this and please, take it seriously.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Its okay - informative, but awkward
I like the premise, but the delivery could be better. This book would be more interesting for those not in the medical profession, as there are lots of lengthy explanations of medical terms and pathology that get boring for those who already have some medical training or knowledge. That being said, this makes it much easier for the average reader to understand, and the explanations are well written and simple. Perhaps it is the nook formatting that confuses the reader...some of the text boxes, which would likely appear in the margins on paper, wind up being broken and randomly inserted into the text of the book, making it rather confusing to read. I would enjoy this book more if I were able to skip the lengthy medical explanations and get right to the message- how not to die.

Easy to understand, common sense
This is a very easy read. So interesting to hear about and learn of Dr. G's experiences through her autopsies. Also puts a more human touch to what she does every day and nice to know she doesn't take it all for granted. Very common sense health advice in an easy to understand format.

Waiting For Another!
Very heartwarming to know that someone in this profession is so compassionate and caring about people even after they die! Since I had met her in person, I was interested to read her observations. It was so enlightening that I am anxious for her to write another!

Anamoty student in store for medical examination
Dr.G is the reason im getting into the medical field. I have always had an interest in health and medicine but from watching her shows and this book, it made me want to even more get involved in the medical field. Particularly in medical examination. Everyone should read this book for good advice on health and well being. Dr.G truly is an inspiration and my future is headed in the direction she is and i can only hope to one day be as successful, well known and help as many families as she has.
