Customer Reviews

Fascinating read

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+
