This is a great book with amazing insight into the discovery of common antibiotics that we take for granted today. It is crazy to think that people used to die from simple infections. Although this book has an element of mystery, it is much more of a historical drama than a mystery.
Loved this book. It's hard to imagine a time when it wasn't simple to be treated for an infection. I really enjoyed the story.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It brought up some interesting ideas about the development of antibiotics.
