Ranking as one of the very best books I have read in a long time, Johnson makes the 1854 cholera epidemic in London fascinating. His wry humor, good storytelling, deft elucidation of the big issues, and great details make this one highly recommended.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.
