Who WANTS to read all about LIVERS... by OC Pyro Queen (USA) 5 Stars
March 13, 2007
but unfortunately, sometimes you have to learn about things you'd rather not. And when my good friend nuked his liver with alcohol and tylenol and nearly died, I had to find out what was up, because the staff at the hospital was really scaring me. This book, written in very clearly and from a very optimistic point of view, definitely answered most of my questions, and I am even a little more hopeful than I was when I began it. If you know anyone who drinks heavily OR already has liver disease, it's the book to read or share with them.
