Summary: Bedside Manners
Review: Dr. Maisel has successfully captured the intense experience of a medical internship. In his first book he conveys the stress, fatigue and joy one goes through during this trying year with a sense of humor and suspense that makes for a great read. The characters are very real and captivating from the first chapter. Bedside Manners is a very good book and makes for a quick and exciting read. I had trouble putting it down. A perfect novel to provide an escape during a summer vacation.

Summary: So you want to be a doctor?
Review: I enjoy my books and always sadly feel a parting from the characters once I finish a final chapter. With Dr. Maizels's book I was so relieved for Dr Danny Raskin to finally have a chance to relax, that I felt I had delivered that to him myself, personally by the reading. It was suspenseful all the way. Each chapter ended with such a jolt that it could not be put down. A wonderful summer read at the beach let me tell you !!! Our copy will now accompany my sister on a ski lodge holiday... so Alan Maizel is an author for all seasons. Please advise of book # 2. Enthusiastically, Dr Carl J. and Jessica Mader of Maders Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada

Review: I just finished reading this great new thriller. It was a page turner and it took me through much of what a poor intern has to go through. I felt so sorry for Danny and he was so real to me I was ready to make him some chicken soup. I enjoyed his humor and feelings about life in general. Good book. Hope there is more coming from this new author.

Review: I was initially turned off when I saw the number of pages in this book. How, I wondered, could a writer keep me thrilled for 548 pages? Easy for this author. The short chapters and the grabbers at the end of each kept me turning pages to see "wha happen?" long after time for lights out. I was especially captivated by characters like Maxine Chu and Eddie Ingraham. Way to go, Dr. Maisel! I'm looking forward to Alan's next book.

Review: So many clues, you think that the author is giving things away - but, no way. The suspense is great and I was caught unsuspecting.

Summary: Fantasy
Review: This book reads like a male adolescent fantasy. Uneven prose. Unbelievable hospital antics. No wonder people have unrealistic expectations of their physicians if this is presented as reality....

Rating:
Summary: An excellent medical thriller!
Review: This was an extremely enjoyable, fast paced thriller. The characters were colorful and rich. I'd rate this book right up there with Robin Cook,Palmer and Creighton. Bedside Manners offers the reader a wonderful combination of comedy, medical anecdotes, and edge of your seat action. Can't wait for his next one!

Review: What a great surprise -- to pick up a book from an unknown author and revel in the sinister schemes and suspicious scoundrels lurking among the pages of this medical thriller. Set within the political, frenzied and feudalistic arena of a world class medical center, Bedside Manners is highly readable and utterly captivating, with unexpected characters threading their way through twists and turns that keep the reader guessing and cause one to wonder whether health insurance is all it's cracked up to be??
