JANET MASLIN REVIEW - NEW YORK TIMES

"Mr. Wishart reports that during his years of writing and talking casually about cancer, he had a horrifying effect on others. Hearing him, listeners would shiver or quail or walk away. But his book does not prompt that kind of response: Mr. Wishart has done copious research and used it to shape a story more gripping than frightening ... [he] remains too erudite and civilized to succumb to fear."

How good is that?
