Interesting, but not one to be read while you are eating.

Most of the book was a 4 star read! The conclusion was lengthy and tangential in a way that was reminiscent of a college student trying to meet their word count on an essay.

microbiologist's review against another edition
3.0
A decent read and a good look at the story of London's Cholera outbreak and John Snows investigation into the source of the outbreak, but the writing quickly becomes very tiresome when the author drones on and on and on and seems to tray farther and farther from the topic at hand. At least 50 or 60 pages could have been cut out of this book to make it a much more concise story.
