Customer Reviews

what a FUN book!

Everything about this book is entertaining -- its theme (we've always had strong opinions about doctors), its subject matter (movies, good and bad), and its style (peter dans has a wonderful dry sense of humor). It's also an enlightening book. It lets us look back at what our standards were--for doctors and for movies--and proves once again that times change and life is much more fun if we don't take ourselves too seriously. Doctors and movie buffs will enjoy this book most of all. Everyone else will find it a great read or a great gift.

Movie buff's delight

This book is fun and compelling. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more -- his dry wit and frank assessments of movies obscure and well-known -- or his physician's insight of medicine and its myths.
