M & Dee: A Wanderlust Love Story, based on True Events. by Marianne Madson (26 Reviews)    Price verified 22 minutes ago

"Have I become a ghost? All I hear is divorcee, adulteress whispered behind my back while you get high fives. Dee please tell me, you never told anyone... about Sam." The book blurb is from M and Dee, my groovy early seventies pop culture memoir. The reviews describe M and Dee as an authentic 70s sounding groovy read, which it should because it really happened. So, with that said, instead of me describing the book, below is what the readers have said about M and Dee. "Ah, the 70s. This book captures well the free spirited, hitch-hiking, back-packing, train riding, grass smoking, free loving, relationship developing era of the early to mid-70's. The story contains humor, insights, quirks, and romance, but in the end it is a tragedy of the most unusual kind. Don't try to figure out the ending. You can't." "Groovy Baby, the characters developed nicely and it really had a good vibe to it and the language was very authentic." "A modern day retelling of the classic star-crossed lovers tale." "I loved this story and really got into the groovy 70s scene which was so which was so poignantly depicted." Great wanderlust read.

A bit of a sore throat: Throat cancer and its treatment: a patient's perspective. by Robert Leslie (24 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

A patient's perspective on throat cancer and its treatment. I don't know your reason for looking at my book, but before going any further, I do hope it's not because you or a person close to you has cancer; it's a horrible disease. My story is about my own experience of stage 4 throat cancer and what I have learned by researching - I'm not an expert; this isn't a medical textbook and my description won't necessarily match how things go for other people, but it should give you some insight and forewarning of what to expect. Some of it was frustrating, some painful and surprisingly other parts which went far better than I expected. This book is what I would have been very happy to read before the start of my encounter with cancer. Despite the serious nature of the topic, I think you'll find plenty of moments which make you laugh. A review 5.0 out of 5 stars Highly readable and humorous medical memoir "I'm giving this book five stars because the subject is so important and because I loved the writing. Yes, it's a medical memoir; but much more than that. One of the first section headings is: 'Warning: this book may contain jokes.' I didn't expect that, given the subject matter, but Mr Leslie does not disappoint. There are many laugh-out-loud moments. This memoir of a serious health condition comes from an observant and witty raconteur, despite the distress he suffers from his diagnosis and treatment. Leslie, who constantly asks questions and does not accept pat responses, makes clear his debt to the NHS. This despite the occasional inefficiencies he points out. Between the jokes and the medical memoir there were good suggestions about ways the administration of the NHS might be improved; how to reduce the number of late diagnoses. Best of all is his take on how to read the reviews of hospitals and cancer services because nowadays we have more choice than heretofore; and more than most people realise. And he has ideas on how the NHS might persuade more patients ...
