Everything is Tuberculosis
by John Green
emotional
informative
fast-paced
- A short but very effective read on the history of tuberculosis and problems that some parts of the world are still facing due to lack of proper healthcare
- Major takeaway: We have the power to eradicate TB across the world, and racism/xenophobia/greed are all standing in the way of making it actually happen.
- A few chapters were spent focusing on the social history, ex: the romanticization of TB when it impacted the wealthy and how, once it started impacting poor people, the attitude suddenly flipped.
- Throughout the book, John connected everything to Henry and his journey as he battled TB. Truly a beautiful story throughout
