Loved all three books. The Physician my favorite.

The Physician - book one. Amazing story line with characters to love and hate. The main character was so realistic and likable. The descriptions of the times and places were very detailed and it was easy to put yourself there. I loved the progression of the story. Very well written. I would highly recommend.

Shaman - book two. Again, excellent story line. I did enjoy book one more than the second. Very well written. Exciting characters. Interesting time periods with vivid descriptions. This could stand alone. I would highly recommend.

Matters of choice - book three. I enjoyed this book but not as well as the other two. It was set in modern day and I had enjoyed the previous time periods so much it was a little disappointing to be back in the modern era. This could stand alone. I would read it to see the conclusion of the story and I would recommend, but not as fun as the first two.

I am posting this review to all of the books as is. That way you can see the progression of the reviews. gbash

Last book of trilogy. I enjoyed the book.

4,5 estrellas. De la trilogía me ha parecido el más flojo incluido el final.
Si algo he aprendido con este libro es que la sanidad en estados unidos es terrible.

“Suvalgiau” su malonumu. Puikus laisvalaikio skaitinys. Kaip Grisham puikiai rašo apie teisininkus, taip Gordon - apie gydytojus. Man limpa abu.

Still Very good book but it did not stand up to the first two of trilogy. I am not sure if it was because it was present day not historical but I did not feel invested in characters other than the "heroine" as I did in previous books. I thought it did show all sides of abortion whether you support abortion or not. I am looking forward his other books especially "The Winemaker".

I loved this book so much. It touches some subjects which I consider very important and it is as well-written as the 2 first books of the saga.

I've never given a 5 star to a book and I've read many books! I absolutely loved this story. To go from the other two wonderful books in the genre of historical fiction to writing in the "NOW" era so proficiently is a wonder to me. Especially writing about a woman from a male author's point of view I was very impressed! I was so fascinated by the character I wanted to be there with her, fishing in the river and building that bridge!! I've been somewhat of a tomboy all my life and I could so identify with the character, in the fact that I believe there is nothing a woman can't do if she puts her heart to it! Thank you Mr Gordon you have reinforced that conviction in me!!

Story telling at it's best.

Noah Gordon is a marvellous storyteller. Although I found book 3 of the trilogy tiresome at times and contained unnecessary fluff. Aside from that the story of the Cole family kept me wanting more. The story covered a hundred years of medicine. It's a joyride for anyone who has an interest in medicine.

Worth reading if you have started the series. But, it does not live up to my expectations after the first two books. For those reviewers who found the book liberally biased and the main character to be far too liberal, I wonder at their finding it so or not expecting it to be so. After all, the first two books featured main characters who were quite liberal when viewed from the point of time the books were set.

This was a romance novel much more than the last book of the trilogy. The story line seemed very superficial, with minute detail used in areas that is wasn't needed, especially the numerous mentions of women being "chunky and the attachment to the dream car". I think there was absolutely way too much medical terminology. I understood only because I work in the medical field, but I can imagine a reader being very bogged down.

Nada destacable a reseñar... bastante estándar. Poco peso de toda la historia de la saga familiar detrás. Algunos giros argumentales interesantes, eso sí.

En general me ha gustado más que "Chamán", que se me hizo muy largo, pero no tanto como "El médico", para mí el mejor de la trilogía.

Al menos ya puedo decir que me he leído los tres :)

Puff no terminó de convencerme
