jlbrown23 's review for:
This book is almost entirely biography and politics, and has almost no science. For example - the structure of Penicillin is never shown, and how it acts to actually kill bacteria is never discussed. But huge parts of the book are dedicated to politics around the Nobel prize, the challenges in getting funding, the life stories do the scientists involved. But not one sentence on why Penicillin actually works. It seems like the author set out to show that Florey and his team didn't get enough credit, but didn't really care much about Penicillin or science. He did a good job of that & the book was well written(so I can't give it a bad rating - if that is what you are interested in, pick it up), but The story of Penicillin is more interesting and you got very little of that.
