The science and history in this book was fascinating, but one of the lead prion researchers featured in the book was pretty problematic and I think the author should’ve been less lighthearted about it. So, can’t recommend this book but would 1000% recommend learning more about prions because they’re pretty cool.

This is a fascinating story of a real medical mystery and how it was identified (if not yet solved.) I would love a follow-up at some point.

Really interesting read
Really interesting read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. You might want to keep a note with what all the abbreviations are though as you read. He uses a lot of abbreviations and a lot of them are really similar so it was hard to remember what they all stood for.
