Mountains Beyond Mountains
by Tracy Kidder
The author shadowed Dr. Paul Farmer, interviewed him and people who know him and wrote an inspirational book about the difference one man can make. I could not help but be inspired by what I read and hope that I will give as much dedication to my passions as Dr. Paul Farmer gives to his. One quote by the doctor sums up his life. Dr. Farmer and the author, Tracy Kidder, traveled to Cuba where Dr. Farmer gave some presentations and discussed tuberculosis and AIDS with other doctors. When they arrive Dr. Farmer says he will sleep well that night because there were enough doctors in Cuba to meet the needs of the patients. This was not the case in most places he went. He is a loving and caring doctor who wants to help EVERYONE in need and does his best to do so. He is a great example of giving love to each personal individually and seeing the value in each human. I give him 5 stars for his work!
The way that the story is told was a little bit dry. It felt more like a travel log then a book with a story arch. I appreciate the author telling this story and I did enjoy the book but it was just a bit harder to get through then I would have liked for such an amazing story.
