I’m not usually too into nonfiction, but apparently as a science/medicine nerd, this worked perfect for me. Mukherjee has a way of weaving a vivid timeline of cancer through many smaller, narrative stories that leave you caring for each “character”, though most of them were assuredly real people. I loved how this book explored the political & legal movements that were sidelining the scientific battle against cancer. A lot of these occurrences were not things I was previously aware of or taught in school. A very interesting read, especially if you are a science and/or medicine nerd like me!
