peregrinwho 's review for:
Everything is Tuberculosis
by John Green
emotional
hopeful
informative
reflective
fast-paced
It's surreal to have followed the Vlogbrothers for so long and to have learned a lot of what's in here from John's videos as he wrote this book. To be a part of the fight. He was calling out, "Marco!" and recieving a chorus of "Polo!"'s long before these pages shouted across bookshelves everywhere. And how wonderful, that he found a way to help turn all those voices into action. How actionable these things become to others when they are no longer things, but people, with names and families and lives that can no longer be diminished into a vague clump of numbers. (Also I don't think I knew how profoundly impactful plurals could be to me until that bit along the lines of, "she worked hard to help keep her kids healthy. Then she worked hard to keep her kid."
