Great book. Accessible to a science-loving layperson, but still pretty dense. This one took awhile to get through but was a fascinating and comprehensive view of the diseases. I had seen the PBS documentary a few years ago, and thought this paralleled the show nicely.

I learned a lot from this book and I'm glad I read it, but there's no denying that this one was work for me.

Highly recommend this book...very engaging even for a "non-science" person like myself. Great writing, absorbing narrative. The parts with the patient stories are the absolute best, and are mixed in to keep the narrative fresh. Glad there are committed oncology researchers and doctors out there but it is crazy how much still needs to be understood.
