    Review: God's Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine It almost always annoys me when someone who isn't a professional writer produces a great book, but Victoria Sweet has written the best nonfiction book I've read this year, and all I wanted to do when I finished reading it was to meet her and congratulate her and ask her a lot of questions. So I did. Something happened at the start of that conversation that made me realize why her book dazzled me
