This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.
One does not normally welcome book review invitations. We are busy people and the prospect of plowing through pages of sometimes turgid lifeless prose is not appealing. Such is not the situation presented by A Physician's Guide to Pain and Symptom Management in Cancer Patients. Reading this book is a pleasurable experience. The style is sprightly, the language engaging, and among medical texts the work may be described as a 'page-turner'.
