Summary: It's a quick read
Comment: I would love Sidney Sheldon's books if he would take his time in writing more in depth of the characters and stuff. However, I did enjoy this book ~~ it's not my typical read anymore ~~ as I've read his books in high school. I haven't read this one and the mystery surrounding the three doctors at a big San Francisco hospital is a gripping read.
Dr. Paige Taylor, an ambitious heart surgeon wanna-be is accused of murder when she inherited a million dollars. Dr. Kat Turner and Dr. Honey Taft are filled with secrets of their own. While Paige fights for her life in court, the story spins unraveling the secrets of events that happened the previous year ~~ and the reader gets a closer glimpse of Paige and her roommates.
Looking for an exciting read with murder, suspense and mystery and romance? This book has it all! Despite the gritty writing, it is an enthralling read. I couldn't put the book down after a few chapters ~~ I just had to know what happened!

Summary: NOthing Lasts Forever
Comment: I would recommend this book to girls more than guys because it's more like a "cchick-flick" story. There are some love scenes, family issues, and just real life situations. A particular love scene that I remember was when the main character, Dr. Paige Taylor falls in love with a childhood friend. They always say they'll be together forever, but he ends up marrying someone else and Paige got broken-hearted. Read this book and find out what happen to Paige later. A family issue that makes people wonder why some people does things they shouldn't be doing. Like Kate Hunter, a lady that got rape by her stepfather when she was young. When she told her mother, she didn't believe her and slap Kate and called her a slut. What happen to Kate afterwar? How did she become a doctor and why did she get murdered? There's many real life situation in this book that makes you wonder did it happen to yourself yet. Have you ever been to a hospital and get scared because the doctor might not know what they're doing? Betty Lou Taft became a doctor by cheating. She seduced people that got in her way of becoming a doctor. In the real world there are a lot of people that take the easy way out. Cheating to become a doctor is putting many people's lives in danger. I feel that cheating is wrong in every situation.
This book makes you keep on wanting to read until you finish. This book can leave you hanging after each chapter and wanting to know what's going to happen next. It seems like Paige was a great doctor, but why does Dr. Lawrence Barker keep on yelling at her like he doesn't like her? Did Paige have somethign that John Cronin wants? Or maybe John Cronin realizes that she's a great doctor, the only person that cares for him. Just read this book and find out. This is a really great and interesting book. I hope you will read it someday and enjoy it like I did. I hope you would recommend this book to others too.

Summary: Terrible, terrible, terrible.
Comment: ARGH. I read this one night, when I was on call. It was a book lying in the call room, and it was fairly quiet in the hospital, and since I hadn't read a book for fun in a looong time, I figured I 'd give it a try. It was an easy read, and the plot very predictable, but the way the three main characters and their experiences in their residency are depicted was soooo laughable I HAD to review it, so I could rant about it.
First off, I am a female medical student, and will be getting my MD soon. Let me tell you that this book, published in 1996, supposedly taking place in the late 80s/early 90s, is really terribly written. It would have been better set in the 60s or something. No first year resident is going to go into their residency as clueless as those characters in the book. Medical students take call. They don't work as hard as the interns, but they see how the interns work, so it's not a huge surprise when it happens to them. It's painful, but they should expect it. Second, I don't know of a single hospital (especially a huge county hospital!!) with an entering class with only THREE female residents. Maybe for certain residency specialties (orthopedics, etc.) there is a gender gap, but NOT for an entire hospital. Even in the 70s, you weren't going to see that happen. Female doctors are pretty much well accepted, perhaps a bit less expected in older generations. Physicians usually have PAGERS, and don't get overhead pages like in the book. And if a physician tried to pull off some of the antics that qualified as "good care" (ie. tricking a family to donate blood to a patient, giving false information to a patient about his/her condition, etc.) that person would be kicked out. It's totally unethical. And no one calls the nurses things like, "Nurse Spencer." The guy who writes this watches way too much daytime soaps, and needs to get with it. This book was so unbelievable, I just rolled my eyes.
