I like Atul Gawande, and so I probably gave this one more leeway than I would have otherwise. I think Gawande has a good premise and he did a good job convincing me of that hypothesis, I just don't know that the book justified itself overall. But Gawande is a decent writer and did make me think about some things and bring awareness to just how easy it is for people to forget asinine or everyday things. I'll definitely consider using checklists more often, although thankfully there are no lives on the line if I don't do so.
