Fascinating read

By T. Wells on August 4, 2008

Format: Hardcover

I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. This is an excellent book that shows one side of the AIDS epidemic that isn't discussed as much. The epidemic of AIDS in the poor. Dr. Zuger has taken some of the patients she has cared for and written their stories from a medical and personal perspective. I don't think this book was intended to delve too deeply into the medical jargon, but is more to talk about her experiences with her patients on a more personal level.
An excellent read. A+

Chewing rubber would fascinate me more!

By Nollywood Forever on October 16, 2006

Format: Paperback

I think that if you are thinking of buying this book think again. I was expecting narratives that would capture me. I was expecting to get to know each character...but that was not to be the case. It was a very matter of fact overview of each person's case. It did not do a good job into gving insight in each character neither did it do a good job in giving me any useful information on the medical side of HIV, therefore it was useful for absolutely... nothing.

I feel as though I cannot even articulate how disappointed I was by this book. I didn't even bother reading the last ten pages because it was not worth it. All the characters were similar, and all the stories were bland. thats all I can say...Dont waste your time or money!!!
