A good read, but not enough material.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Deadly Medical Mysteries: How They Were Solved (Paperback)
While informative and well-written, the book has very large margins and fairly large print, making its one hundred pages of text more equivalent to fifty or so. I felt ripped off.

Deadly Medical Myeteries: How They Were Solved,
By
This review is from: Deadly Medical Mysteries: How They Were Solved (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this book. I had difficulty in making myself read several pages hoping to become more accustom to the writing technique of the writer and the time frames this book was written about. This is a book I doubt I will ever finish. My rating shows a 1 but actually it should be a zero.
