These are characters that are either you or people with whom you'd want to befriend. I'd recommend it easily to anyone looking for a great story.

I picked up this gem at a second hand bookstore and could not put it down. Arnie Goldman has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis since the age of 8 and his friend, Redso, turns out to be a manic depressive. The third protagonist, Billy Rubin, daughter of an orthodox rabbi, needs to be needed. All three characters are highly intelligent. Savan's writing is beautiful. The pages just flow one into the next. Will definitely try and get his other book. It seems he has only written one other. I identified with all three main characters even though Redso is not a likeable person at all.Did not really want to give the book 5 stars because the ending was a bit weak but decided that the quality of the writing and the way the story gripped me, was worth the extra star. Savan is truly amazing in that he writes about manic depression and rheumatoid arthritis as though he himself has suffered them. I wonder if he has any first hand knowledge of these illnesses.
Strange,funny and wonderful.

Having thoroughly enjoyed White Palace, Glen Savan's earlier book that was made into a mediocre movie, I was looking for anything else that he had written. I was not disappointed with Goldman's Anatomy. It's funny, poignant and is so well written that many passages deserved to be read aloud. My only complaint is I can't find anything else written by Glen Savan. That's a shame.
