Fascinating and well written. I ended up staying up much too late reading it because I got so caught up in it.

I absolutely loved this read. It wasn't what I'd typically pick up at the bookstore (more often a fiction kinda gal), but I saw it browsing at Indigo. Written about what is generally both a complex and difficult subject to approach, I found the book to be very informative and an enlightening read. And the author managed to address a lot of the science-side of things without it being too difficult to follow along.

Loved it.

This autobiography reads like a novel. It's medically technical enough to be interesting but not over the head of most readers.

Fascinating, terrifying, and very well-written. I appreciate Susannah Cahalan's writing style, probably because of her journalistic background. She's very fact-based, and is able to weave her experiences in with interviews of people who have better memories of the time seamlessly. Well done. An excellent medical memoir.

So much sickness, kinda disturbing at some points.
