A review by jenniepicky
The Family that Couldn't Sleep by D.T. Max

3.0

D.T. Max outlines the fascinating history of prion protein diseases including FFI (Fatal Familial Insomnia), and "mad cow" disease. Reading this left me wondering about the Canadian view on prions and the handling of mad cow by the Canadian government and beef industry (I may never eat beef in the US or Britain again...)

Pair this book with the fiction book 12.21 by Dustin Thomason and you may never sleep again. (see what I did there?)
