Summary: Great page-turner for those interested in public health
Comment: Roueche did a fabulous job of presenting some fascinating cases of infectious disease and public health. This book is gripping enough to keep the attention of readers who already have knowledge of disease and public health, yet explains complex medical terminology simply enough that anyone should be able to enjoy this book. I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent book on personal hygiene and public health
Comment: Many stories in this book reminds me of the famous essay "Silent Spring". The writing style is extremely accessible to every body and yet delivers a significant amount of knowledge, advice, and sometimes wisdom. The author carefully explains medical terms and implications, thus easing the reader's mind without using a medical book. This book is highly recommended to anyone who has a curious mind.

Rating: 5
Summary: Really fun to read
Comment: This book was so enjoyable that I had to ration it out, a chapter a day, to make it last. Otherwise I would have gone through it in a day. Each medical mystery immediately draws you in. You learn a lot, even though the writing level is entertaining and undemanding. I highly recommend this book, and plan to read other books by this author.
