They even sent him to a psychiatrist, just to make sure it wasn't all in his head. Unfortunately, they never did figure out what was wrong and he still lives with it. Thanks for the review! I'll look for this one!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-40442168009178677142008-10-07T13:21:00.000-04:002008-10-07T13:21:00.000-04:00I wasn't sure what to think when I first heard Jam...I wasn't sure what to think when I first heard James Patterson had written a non-fiction book. I love his style, and I love medical stories, but I just wasn't sure if they were going to work together. So glad to hear you think he pulled it off! I'm definitely going to be picking this one up!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-35413139341904997962008-10-07T12:10:00.000-04:002008-10-07T12:10:00.000-04:00Poor kid!

The book was very interesting, especially hearing it from Cody's perspective.<BR/><BR/><B>Suzi</B> ~ His style did work - that's what really drove me to plow through it. FYI - About an hour after I posted this, I reconsidered my rating. That does happen on occasion and sometimes I change them. I would not rate it lower than a 4, but I don't think it quite deserves a 4.5. I still may change it.<BR/><BR/><B>Dar</B> ~ Yes, it's absolutely worth the read if you like children and true medical mysteries.<BR/><BR/><B>Trish</B> ~ Yes, I can believe it. I've only read a couple. :) I also love short chapters. I can't believe how much more I can get through in one sitting versus long chapters. It's such a mental game!Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-54847309436586360782008-10-06T21:07:00.000-04:002008-10-06T21:07:00.000-04:00Sounds like my kind of non-fiction!

I saw something about it the other day and thought it looked quite intriguing, but even though I enjoy James Patterson's books I was concerned that his treatment of this wouldn't work. Glad to hear it did. Now I can put it on the TBR list.SuziQoregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552565982732943323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-64218615237813062152008-10-06T14:34:00.000-04:002008-10-06T14:34:00.000-04:00Joy,This sounds very interesting!
