The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

Book Review: The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer - well deserving of its Pulitzer Prize. Long but worth it. Mukherjee did a very good job of balancing the recitation of facts with the telling of stories. The stories were used to keep interest, give a human face and provide illustration without taking over the book. There are some long passages where the science is pretty deep. But it is all well written and interesting.
