I was hooked on the language real quick. The prose beautiful, but too dense to eat all at once. So I put it down, but unlike other set-asides I was compelled to come back to it every so often, to get through the parts that I somehow knew in my bones would end and that I would be rewarded. <3 And I was right.
That sounds too good; I wouldn't recommend this book on the strength of my experience.
I loved it, though. How Ida describes Vanner's book! A777777 yes that fits exactly! And then the- and the- ... Is this kind of like watching Tatiana play all the clones on Orphan Black?

It's like a murder mystery, but you already know the culprit. It's history, but it's entertaining. It's informative. Exciting. Emotional(?). For the layperson.
You'll be there with Dr. John Snow (no relation to the Westerosi) as he tries to convince the public health board of his theory, presumably rooting for him to win against the commonly held beliefs that all disease is caused by smell and that commoners get sick because ew, they're lower class. Or you may side with that.
It's like watching Monk or House, but... this shit is real. (And really shitty.)
And then he starts talking about nuclear bombs. wtf?
