I listened to a radio show as guest with the author of this book. it made me want to read his books and I chose this one whose title corresponded to the tone heard on the air. I was thrilled. we have read my husband and me and we laughed because it is full of amusing anecdotes. the tone is light and lively. the content is as serious as it is written doctor who knows humor to join the love and fun while entertaining its readers. a very charming encounter. anne
