Did not read like a Primer to me. Nowhere near as good as Dr Walsh’s book.

A Primer on Prostate Cancer: The Empowered Patient’s Guide
This is an excellent book I have ever read on prostate cancer. Because it is easy to understand.There are some other books on the subject but when you read them it is very difficult to understand.In other words, it is also easy for layman to understand this book.While reading a book if you understand most of what the book says you get pleasure.As is known, medical language is a highly technical language, it is not easy to understand such language. But this book solves the language problems and the reader can easily understand most of the book if he is a careful reader. I would like to thank both the authors and the publisher to publish such a good book to help people like me.
Thanks for your valuable help
