1.0 out of 5 stars
This is the most poorly written book I have ever read,
By A Customer
This review is from: How Pasteur Changed History: The Story of Louis Pasteur and the Pasteur Institute (Paperback)
I completely disagree with the editorial review of this book. It was dry and boring, and Reynolds recounted the deaths of Pasteur's daughters with as much emotion as she described a chemical reaction. Reynolds did not tell this story "succinctly and accessibly." It was such a chore to read that I began to read it aloud (I had to read it for a school assignment) and my mother and brother couldn't bear to hear it and screamed for me to stop. My father got the book Microbe Hunters out of our local library and I read that as a supplement. It covered virtually the same material as Reynolds attempted to write about, only it was far more compelling, vivid, and easier to read.
