Books
These book reviews reflect the opinions and writings of Jim Gleason, heart transplant recipient, author and book reviewer, and do not represent the views of TRIO or any of its members. If you are an author of a transplant related book and would like to submit your book for review consideration, send an e-mail request to GleasonJim@aol.com and I promise you a prompt reply.
On the TRIO Bulletin Board, under the Transplant: Book Reviews forum, there are short descriptive summaries of many transplant books. Full reviews of these books are linked from those entries, but also listed here alphabetically to guide your transplant reading pleasure.
Visit : www.trioweb.org/resources/book-reviews.html
Note: as of August 2012, this entire collection has over 150 transplant related books.
Movies
Keep in mind that the movies listed here run the full gamit of excellent to terrible, inspirational to horrific, from true stories to fiction that misrepresents the real transplant/donation process and life experience. Do not take their inclusion here as a recommendation, rather this is offered as a resource for anyone interested in the movie representation of organ transplant and donation. Proceed with caution and understand that the ratings offered are the personal views of this reviewer only.
