This is an essay, not the book it seems to be. by Bypass Betty

I was very disappointed to find this glossy covered "book" was more of an essay. It has about 90+ largely spaced pages of text. No chapters or special subjects. Just one long opinion. Not worth the $10 I paid for it.

This is a good book to have if you have gone thru this surgery. The only thing I did not like about the book, it was not long enough. I feel there is more to the Journey that what this book covered.
