The God Complex
The only thing I found about this book that bugged me was at the end when the author describes Steve and Paul's childhood adventures in a specific location. I thought this information could have been scattered throughout the book but it was not enough for me to drop a star of my rating. The ending chapter was a nice ending and a surprise ending at the best. I did not see it coming and honestly, many readers may not see it coming.
This book is staying on my Kindle to be read again if I meet my challenge goals before the end of 2012. I do recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Eastern medicine and a great story about the search for truth.
I absolutely devoured this book! I found it engaging and very well written. The reason I am giving this book 5 stars is because not only was the story engaging, but it was fast paced and I could identify with one of the main characters, Steve. Like him, I was upset with Western Medicine and how I felt and sometimes do still feel dismissed. It was in Eastern medicine combined with Western medicine that I found many of my issues able to be controlled. One of the main things in the book when Steve
As a person who is less than enamored with traditional doctors & Western medicine, I found this to be a very interesting read. Which is amazing, since I never would have picked up a book claiming to be a handbook of Eastern medicine, martial arts, or acupuncture. But elements of all those things were included in this thriller - and I could hardly put it down. This book was both informative AND entertaining. I definitely would read more by this author!
The book was a little 'slow' in places but I loved the storyline. Having worked for doctors most of my adult life, there is absolutely (what I call) the MD, PhD, GOD syndrome. This is especially true when Eastern/alternative medicine is involved. I would have liked a little more 'closure' pertaining to the doctors. I would be interested in reading more books by Chris Titus in the future.
This book is extremely fascinating. It deals with the idea that the medical profession, highly respected specialists specifically, feel that they are infoulable. It also deals with ancient Chinese medicine, qigong and the five elements in Chinese culture. It takes place in modern Czech Republic for the most part and is in part a medical story, a mystery and comment on society. While it may confuse some readers who like to skim read books, if you take you time, really read it and ponder what is
This is one of the most innovative stories that I have come across in a long time. The storyline grabbed me from the very start and I couldn't put it down until I finished. Chris has an amazing ability of tying personal pain and frustration into a fictitious tale, while spreading the word about Eastern Medicine vs. the ever failing, over prescribing Western medical doctors. He truly opened my eyes to the world around me, especially being someone who has been told that my health issues are
I wasnt sure what to expect when I bought this book, but I knew I had to read it because I love anything having to do with Chinese medicine. At first I was disappointed it was fiction, but as soon as I started reading it I found myself completely taken in by a well-crafted story. The God Complex is brilliantly inspiring, and it was in no way predictable-full of suspense and completely thought provoking. I appreciate the fact that I learned a few things (okay, a lot) that I didnt know about

It was in Eastern medicine combined with Western medicine that I found many of my issues able to be controlled. One of the main things in the book when Steve does something to his doctors that many may find reprehensible is to get them to both realize that one needs to "marry both types of medicine together". I could not agree more.The only thing I found about this book that bugged me was at the end when the author describes Steve and Paul's childhood adventures in a specific location.

Strange Storyline, No EndingThis book was noted as similar to Dan Brown books, but was totally off base. This has a strange storyline and a crazier ending. Is this a series? There was no real ending. I read the whole book but the middle was crazy, again with no resolution by the end of the book. I would not recommend this one to any of my friends.I absolutely devoured this book!
