Recensioner i media

"While several books address the challenges of living with fibromyalgia, Hall's is a uniquely objective account that surveys diagnosis, treatments, and the controversy surrounding the condition. Recommended for academic and large public libraries." -- Library Journal's Xpress Reviews (web-exclusive), January 27, 2009
