chelso 's review for:

Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
4.0

I re-read this after hearing of Paul Farmer's passing. This is solidly a 3.5 stars for me. Paul Farmer is clearly a great human who has made a great impact on health and Haiti, my rating is not a reflection of him at all- he still stands as one of the few people who I would classify as a modern hero.

This took me a few weeks to read, I had a slow slog through, which is why I rated it the way I did. Tracy Kidder does a good job of not making this dense or slow, so it may have just been my mood, a bad time for me to pick up this book.

Overall, I'd recommend this book to others. Paul Farmer and his work is important and very interesting to read about.
