Summary: Laughter and learning makes quite the Bbook
Comment: Okay, so I must admit... I'm not exactly an expert when it comes to understanding the scientific jargon used in most journals discussing epidemiology and other areas of interest. I love to read about the world around me, but sometimes need a translator to comprehend it all! That's the great thing about Arno Karlen's book, "Biography of a Germ"-- you don't have to have your doctorate in microbacteriology to enjoy this book as a great read. On the surface the subject may seem a bit, well, odd... but Karlen's wit makes it easy to find yourself enthralled with the life and loves of Bb, this book's microscopic hero and hellion all rolled into one tiny spirochete. Before you know it, you are actually LEARNING a thing or two... and enjoying every minute of it! Far beyond just a crack at popular science, "Biography of a Germ" just might provide a few answers not only about the world within but the world around.
Rating: 5
Summary: a little gem
Comment: This is a slim book, simply written, easily read. But it also packs a lot of information between its pages--all that you need to know about Bb, the germ in question, in fact. It's also full of anecdotes, literary and cultural history, and even personal history. The short chapters make the book a very compelling read. Sure, this book isn't for scholars, but for the common readers who may not know much about the sciences. But I think it's all the better for it.
Rating: 1
Summary: Good Topic, Boring Book
Comment: This book was spawned from a very good idea, but the book is dull and boring, do not buy unless you really like science!
