markisero 's review for:

Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
2.0

Dr. Paul Farmer is a good person -- a doctor who makes a difference. The book got me thinking about my life's purpose and what I can do to get there. The lesson I learned here is to work really hard and do the right thing even if it doesn't always seem logical.

But the writing wasn't that great. Tracy Kidder keeps writing and writing and writing. It's clear that Kidder spent a lot of time with Farmer, but the play by play detail was tedious. It wasn't always clear which scenes were more important than the others.
