creolelitbelle 's review for:
Everything is Tuberculosis
by John Green
hopeful
informative
medium-paced
I would rank higher if I was more inquisitive about the medical aspects. The human and history elements of the book were my favorite parts. I love how the context of tuberculosis's impacts on history are explained well without necessary prior knowledge of details about those time periods, places, or events. In true John Green fashion (and due to no fault of his own for once), many TB patients die in the book, but I found hope in those who survived their diagnoses. I listened to the audiobook, and John Green's narration could make almost any topic interesting.
