Query: Worth reading

This is a review of the good and the bad.The excellent read, and the mind numbing read.First, the good:The Physician by Noah Gordon is in the same vein as Aztec and Raptor. It follows the life of a 1000 A.D. englishman who strives to become a physician. The best physicians are taught at a medical school in persia - but the school won't accept a christian. Therefore, he learns the ways of the Jews, and through this disguise he travels to Persia and becomes a Physician.The author does his best to capture 1000 A. D life in both Europe and Persia/Middle East. The book constantly shows the turmoil between christian/jewish/muslim friction, as well as the science vs religion aspect.Excellent read, difficult to put down. On occasion you may roll your eyes, but trust me - this is one of the better books I've read in awhile.
