Very good book, enjoyed by almost all of us. A couple of people wanted/hoped for more information about blood itself, but generally rated very interesting. |

Less than half our members finished this book. Not a page turner, but very interesting in small bites. Research done - impressive! |

The group was divided between those who disliked the book and found it boring, and others who thought it was a very interesting journalist and feminist account of blood. Some were disappointed that it didn't cover the nature of blood itself - as an organ. Others loved the leeches, the transfusion and menstruation details. |

'Nine Pints' created much discussion, which veered towards the personal experiences of our members. It wasn't regarded highly but we did acknowledge the author's research and choices of the aspects of blood which we didn't know about. |

Everyone felt it was a bit dense to start with, but as we progressed through the book, the different chapters were most informative and interesting. |

Very challenging, but interesting - all learnt a lot. Some chapters very demanding, evoking much anger. |

Interesting discussion including members' own experiences with blood transfusions. Enlightening history, especially about blood transfusions. |

Comments ranged from :- incredible research, amazing facts, well-written, a bit depressing, great reading, too heavy. So, a mixed bunch, but a very interesting read. |

Half of the group didn't open the book, but those who did were fascinated by the science and the sociological aspects of each section. Too many facts! But these could be skipped, and the personal approach of the author offered a delightful foil to the facts. Lively discussion of the sections, extended into the experiences of the group members shared. |
