Bodies

By Jed Mercurio

A darkly powerful and blackly funny expose of the horrors of life as a junior doctor, from the BAFTA award-winning creator of Bodyguard and Line of Duty and co-creator of the graphic novel Sleeper 'Funny, readable, galling, painful and terrifying in all the right places' Guardian Inside every hospital exists a world no outsider is allowed to see- a storm of malpractice, corruption, sex, drink and drop-dead exhaustion. But for first day junior doctors, their initiation into this world - the 'Killing Season' - is about to begin. A whistle-blowing despatch from the frontlines of hospital life, Jed Mercurio's Bodies takes us on a nerve-jangling journey through one junior doctor's loss of innocence, and his desperate, dangerous attempts to right his - and his colleagues'- wrongs.

Grabbed me from the first chapter

I read this book in two days, and was sure I was going to like it with only 20 pages under my belt.
