The Man Who Touched His Own Heart: True Tales of Science, Surgery, and Mystery by Rob Dunn

4.0

This was truly a fascinating read. Dunn did a good job of incorporating medical and scientific jargon into an understandable, captivating story, including bits of humor and insight into the subject. I liked the way each chapter focused on a particular study or aspect of the heart's history. The path that the book takes you on slowly builds, showing how these stories are interconnected. Even though I did not know much about the heart before I read this book, I didn't have a hard time understanding the concepts that Dunn was conveying. It was very interesting and I learned so much. It also goes to show how far human passion and drive for answers to difficult questions will get a person. Truly fascinating.
