"This book, written by a surgeon, was unlike any book I had ever read before. Each chapter is an engrossing story written by a passionate hand. Selzer found a way to combine his love for surgery and anatomy with exceptional dictiona and imagery. He is able to describe the human body from a perspective that is at once graphic and serene. This was an unforgettable novel."
"One again from Michael. Part of his high school curriculum. Five parts very different from one other. The specifics of the body to questions of morality."
