8/10 stars
Marilyn French is a proper writer, by this I mean her grammar, vocabulary and style are vastly superior to many books I have read recently. From that point only, it is worth 5 stars. Marilyn French is also a very opiniated woman, and faced with a very painful cancer and cancer treatment, and certain death at some point, she certainly does not hold back. For some reasons, not on purpose, I have read 3 consecutive books on cancer, the first one was "cancer patients have a wicked sense of humor", the second "cancer can be an enlightening experience", and this one, the third book "cancer sucks big time, doctors don't have a clue and the treatment hurts like crazy".
