5.0 out of 5 stars Bulls Eye
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2009
This book really hit the bull's eye for me.

I have a few aches and pains and thought I might have some form of arthritis. So I sat down to read The Cleveland Clinic Guide to Arthritis, expecting to fall asleep every 5 minutes.

What a surprise!

The author stepped me through 11 case studies covering the most common forms of arthritis, each study embellished with a quirky character who kept my eyelids from dropping.

A very good read that ultimately convinced me that my own puny problems are merely (dare I say it?) old age.
