Product Description |
Tom Reynolds is an ambulance worker. On any given day he can be attacked by strangers, sworn at by motorists, puked on, covered in blood, and other much more unpleasant substances. He could help to deliver a baby in the morning and witness the last moments of a dying man in the afternoon. He deals with road accidents, knife attacks, domestic violence, drug overdoses, neglect, and suffering. Tom blogs about his experiences at the end of each shift. His Random Acts of Reality website has a huge following with more than 30,000 visitors every day. Here, Tom charts the past two years of his life as an ambulance worker. He is tired, he is frustrated, and he is more pissed off than ever but he still manages to capture the more moving, heartwarming, and inspirational moments alongside the chaos. |

Easy Read |
|
Lots of short stories about the adventures in health care of an ambulance crew. I enjoyed the short stories as quick reads at work. |

Don't bother. |
|
True mediocrity. We kindle owners don't have the time to waste. One of the few books I abandoned. |

Really Just A Diary |
|
This book is really just series of diary entries. I could not get through it because that's not my sort of thing. |

|
A good read. |

I really like that this is told in short story form. You can easily put it down for several weeks, and pick up where you left off with no trouble, and you can also skip around if you like. the stories are told well by our author. Some of them are funny, sad, sweet and touching. Many emotions are invoked b/c each story has a different flavor. In addition, as an American, I'm not too familiar with London's heathcare system. Reading Tom Reynolds's book gave me a little insight as to how it works. I would recommend this! |

Blogging =/= bookwriting |
I enjoy reading blogs - generally they are snapshots of a person's life, and rarely look very deeply into that life. They're a fun way to kill a few minutes.
That's OK - most of the blogs I read aren't for their insights into human nature.
Unfortunately, when a blog is published as a book all those not-so-deep snapshots are ... boring and unengaging.
You'd think the life of an EMT would be more exciting than this, and perhaps it is, but not when the "voice" is flat, bland and detached.
Writing a successful blog doesn't necessarily mean somebody is a successful author.
Like other reviewers, I'm very glad this one was free.
