Longshot: The Inside Story of the Race for a COVID-19 Vaccine by David Heath, David Heath

4.0

I’m not one to typically critique or even notice the overall structure of a book, but with this one, it was glaringly obvious. There were several grammatical errors, but the writing style made it a bit hard to follow. He would frequently repeat things he already mentioned as though he hadn’t, start a storyline, drop it, and pick up another. There were so many names, and it became hard to remember who was who. You can tell it was a bit rushed through publishing.

However, I clearly gave it four stars. I am coming away so grateful to have the knowledge I learned from this book. If you can get through the scientific jargon, which in the middle of the book gets pretty heavy, this book provides incredible insight to the science of vaccines and the timeline behind the scenes as Covid emerged.
