Funny, insightful, sad. Laughed a lot. Cried some. Missed it the moment I finished it.

Vissa historier är roliga men mest tragiska. Inte min smak.

Helt ok bok. Relativt underhållande men bitvis monoton.

Et veldig alvorlig og viktig tema formidles på en underholdende og ofte veldig morsom måte.

Morsom bok, likte ikke helt måten den er bygget opp på og at flere av beretningene ble litt for korte men koste meg likevel godt med boka

I think its possible to read this autobiography either as a fantastic piece of work, or a fucking disaster. The narrative is occasionally formal, occupational and technical, but at other times sensation-seeking and brute on the verge of being rude and unpolished. Is Adam Kay totally losing his ethical stance as a former medical doctor? Or is he just open-mindedly facing the bloody truth in a realistic and uncensored manner? Perhaps humorous, but the jargon is more mocking than fun.But, the book is sometimes funny, really funny, and perhaps it could had been an interesting biography, but the text is more ironical than authentic. He is tired to the bones of the institutional bureaucracy, poor working conditions, low wages, half-weird colleagues and hierarchies. In short he seems to be more fatigue, disappointed and disillusioned than honest. Adam Kay is perhaps trying to reveal the truth "behind the scene", but is he turning out to be sarcastic instead?
