This book is approximately 1493843948 pages. I read it over the course of a year, and it's just a great read--covering topics relating to Africa, medical ethics, research, politics, etc. I'm pretty sure the main theory proposed in the book regarding the origin of AIDS has been debunked, which is a bummer, but it's still worth the year of your life.

A tough read, (takes a bit to get into), but fascinating. Well worth the read for anyone interested in infectious disease.

Not an easy read, but the payoff for your investment is huge. Recommended for fans of And the Band Played On.
