Henry Marsh may have retired from medicine but let's hope he keeps producing books as good as this one, which enthral as well as teach.
[And Finally] is unexpectedly fun, and the author is pretty much irresistibly likeable... diagnoses and remissions are described with wonderful candour... [and Marsh's] discussion of end-of-life care and assisted dying is the best essay I have read on the subject.
[Marsh is] deeply reflective, the result is a bit like sitting in the pub with the smartest person you know.
Beautifully written... A thoughtful journey into his experience as a doctor-turned-patient, enlivened with a wonderful black humour and a gimlet eye for comforting nonsense... One couldn't wish for a better guide.
His dignified introspection is a joy.
