I’d never read an entire book out loud before, and recording GOD’S HOTEL was strenuous. So I’m especially pleased that got a great review in the leading audio reviewing magazine, AudioFile.

Here’s a sample: GodsHotel

First, this by Lloyd Sederer MD in the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lloyd-i-sederer-md/book-review_b_3624307.html. Dr. Sederer also did a wonderful spoof of the recent edition of the DSM5: http://www.amazon.com/The-Diagnostic-Manual-Mishegas-com-piled/dp/1483994740

And Books and Culture:http://www.booksandculture.com/articles/2013/julaug/slow-medicine.html?start=1

Also in Books and Culture, which has been picked by the American Conservative, who writes this: http://www.theamericanconservative.com. I have to confess that I love being on both sides of the divide that shouldn’t be there.

And this one in the Journal of Medical Humanities by Arthur Frank, MD: Frank review from JMH

Also, one in the Belgian journal of medicine, Artsenkrant:Artsenkrant_20130205_p17_555441348[1]. I can’t read Flemish, so I only hope it’s a good one!

Santa Clara University has picked GOD’S HOTEL as its freshman book for the summer, and has put together a study guide which may be useful for book clubs: studyguide.

Dr. Sweet reads from her book: for a sample, see here: GodsHotel.

Note that there are two audio versions: the standard CD version which is 11 CDs, and an MP3 version, which is only two CDs, but needs MP3.

As it should be. See this article in Maclean’s: http://www2.macleans.ca/2012/12/27/seven-key-health-trends-for-2013/.
