 Good health and laughter October 10, 2007

I love the book but there again perhaps having been to G!I in real terms, perhaps I am biased. Contrary to John Doe's [just the name says it all] review, I loved it. Yes, Patch is a little whacky but Robin Williams got him right on the button and the concept is right on the money too.
Patch is a very caring person who doesn't presume to know it all but he is right about fun and laughter and if people lightened up a little instead of allowing every day stresses to win, then the NHS would be in a lot better shape. Anyone who says any differently is having a serious bout of sense of humour failure!

What can I say? This book was one of the worst I have ever read. After watching the film Patch Adams, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I decided to find out more about the man himself and went on his website. As a medical student, I found his attitudes towards patient care refreshing. However, whereas on the website and as portrayed by Robin Williams he is a breath of fresh air, in this book he just comes across as a nutcase. His slight eccentricity is replaced by outrageous "wackiness" which just comes across as strange and unappealing. Not to mention the cartoon drawings which are plastered throughout the book which are intended to be funny but just make it an even more painful read. It boasts that the book is essential for anyone in the medical profession, however if you followed the advice that Patch Adams gives you in the book, you would end up as a patient yourself- in a psychiatric ward. Don't waste your money.
