Another biased review

I am a patient of Dr. Moore and he truly is delightful. He is all that a good doctor should be and more...(no pun intended). His book is a pure joy to read - you will be thoroughly entertained. There are not enough adjectives in Roget's thesaurus to describe how much I enjoyed reading this book. I hope he writes another one...soon!

A biased review

This review is "biased" because I am the wife of the author. You will have to forgive me accordingly, but with a cat in my lap as I type this I can honestly say, fascinated as we all are with "plastic surgery" and cats, this volume is a pleasant read. Its perspective, and I can guarantee it from having lived with the surgeon for 25 years, is altogether a different one from what is presented in slick magazines and talk- shows. With what I am going to call "happy good humor" my husband wanders all over the cosmos using his experience of the practice of plastic surgery (in a small, football town) as the focus of his slightly eccentric ruminations. But I am most proud that this book demonstrates that even in such a "glitzy", thought-to-be-glamorous surgical specialty as his he demonstrates that care and respect for people and their needs are alive and well in the practice of medicine. The book is, I think, really fun; and even if you do not want to read it there are some pleasant pictures of this and that. I am very proud of him. I hope you will buy his book, since he is very eager that the publisher, whom he much respects, makes back what it cost to print!
