I thought Kidder did a good job unpacking Farmer. How do you even begin to tell this man's story and all that PIH has accomplished without turning him into a saint? After reading this book, I feel challenged, daunted, and complicit, but wouldn't Farmer say I'm hiding behind all that?

One of the best books I've read in a long time. This read like a novel...not too technical. If you've been to Haiti this is a must.

MY FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME!!!
Poverty. AIDS/HIV. TB. The work of a doctor who is truly the definition of compassion. This book will change your life.

This book is phenomenal. I find myself thinking about it all the time now that I have finished.
After reading the works of Paul Farmer in grad school, it is nice to see behind-the-scenes.
