So yet again I got sucked into reading a series! I seem to have a habit of buying book series... Anyways at least this one is fairly cheap on Amazon (all 7 books are $2.99 each) and I believe they may be worth the price! I really enjoyed this first book of the series and found it to be a funny little book!
The main character is fairly naive and gets into some pretty interesting situations. He moves to a small village in the South of England to become a general practitioner in the early 1970's. However, he has never cared for patience out of a hospital setting and his inexperience is apparent. The main character does some pretty funny things and messes up like any average person. I liked how real the main character is and that the situations are all pretty believable.
Coleman did a wonderful job of not creating a marvelous hero, but instead made a character with integrity, kindness, and naivety. His character has as many faults as any real person, and I think that is why the reader is drawn to the main character. He is like the average person and admits his faults readily. I like the realness of the book and the writing is not bad either!
