Really informative and emotional read. I really loved the choice to follow Henry's story throughout the book. The first half was the most interesting to me; seeing how people talked about TB and consumption and the need to rationalize it was so interesting. I also liked that the second half of the book was very clear about the social and economic injustices that cause TB to still be such a widespread problem today and that the book ended with a call to action. I would definitely recommend this book!
My only negative comment is that some of the later sections felt a bit repetitive to me, which is why I rated it 4.5 instead of 5, but that could also be because I read most of it in one day.
