المراجعة التحريرية
[Marsh] interleaves visceral details of brain surgery with childhood memories and moments of impeccably timed comedy * DAILY TELEGRAPH * Another superb book on brain surgery by Henry Marsh who has psnt his professional life cutting people's heads open...The prose sparkles with wit and intelligence -- William Leith * EVENING STANDARD * Despite the human suffering, it is all heroic, strangely uplifting stuff -- Arifa Akbar * THE OBSERVER * In this unflinchingly honest memoir, retired neurosurgeon Henry Marsh seamlessly intertwines his life experiences and surgical career. He reflects on both what he has learned by probing the brain, and our limited knowledge of mind, from emotions to consciousness -- Mary Craig * NATURE * It feels like a privilege to spend time with Marsh, an exemplary person with lambent emotions whose fearsome skills and hidden fears are a reminder of how exultant, sad, ardent, and swift life really is -- Joshua Rothman * New Yorker * His descriptions of his work there [in Nepal and Ukraine] demonstrate again his gift with both scalpel and pen ... disarmingly self-effacing and honest * WASHINGTON POST * The eloquent author of Do No Harm pulls no punches in this moving memoir, in which he reflects candidly on his life, experiences in medicine at home and in impoverished countries, the prospect of retirement ... and death * HUMAN GIVENS JOURNAL * Marsh's commitment to truth-telling makes this a genuinely humbling as well as fascinating read.

This follow-up is a humorous, irascible and opinionated look at his early life, his long career in the NHS and his retirement. Candid and curmudgeonly -- Robbie Millen * THE TIMES Summer Books * Marsh is now almost as celebrated a writer as he is a brain surgeon. This, a sequel to his best-selling memoir Do No Harm, is a frank and provocative meditation on failures in living and dying as he approaches the end of his career in medicine * MAIL ON SUNDAY Summer Books * Wonderful...eloquent...a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit -- Adrian Woolfson * FINANCIAL TIMES * With charm and black humour ...
