I was afraid this would be sad and dry, but you’ve made it sound fascinating!

Sounds like an uncomfortable read, which is often the most productive kind. Thanks for reviewing it. I really hadn’t planned on adding this to my TBR list, but I may have to re-think that.

I’m reading this one now, and it’s so good, but I’m taking it slowly because there’s a lot to take in!

I listened to this one on audio, and thought that the amount of detail and the type of writing that Mukherjee did on this subject was fascinating and also very scary. I have a family member who is going through treatment for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the moment as well, and reading this book helped me to understand cancer and its treatment and legacy more fully. This was a great review, and I have to agree with you about your opinion of the book.

I’ve been curious about this since it was presented at BEA a couple of years ago. However, I was wondering if there’d be anything new for me — you’ve convinced me that regardless, I should read it.

Wow this looks so good. Cancer and science both run in my family so this is definitely high on my reading list. Thanks for the great review.

This sounds like such an amazing read. I’ve been meaning to read it ever since it won the Pulitzer, but you have encouraged me to finally go ahead and put it on hold at the library.
