however, suffer from a problem implied by its title. Dr. Schull's attempts to make the book lyrical lead to the sin of vivid writing, often complicated by inappropriate usages. For example, it seems unlikely that the lanes mentioned on page 15 were "tortured"; "tortuous" is more likely. Can sleep come in "dollops" (page 22)? Do physicians actually ride jeeps like "marauding bees" (page 26)? (Are bees actually marauders?) What is a "millennia" of lifetimes (page 154)? These usages and many more like them interfered with my enjoyment of what should otherwise have been a totally pleasant experience.
