5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!, September 19, 2007

By	Patricia Coons "Patty" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoyed this book very much. It kept my attention throughout it. There were so many things that I didn't know about Pasteur. This book covered it all. I am interested in people who discover the cure for diseases. Pasteur found a lot of cures. Too bad we don't have him around now. He could use his help.
