3.5 stars

This book, while enjoyable, wasn't exactly what I was hoping it would be. I was under the assumption that it was a more clinical book than The Woman with the Worm in Her Head but that it would be similar. However, it wasn't really stories of different kinds of bites as much as it was a discussion of the history of different bacteria and how some different diseases were discovered. IT was interesting, but not what I was expecting.

It was also a little clinical for my taste. I was hoping it would tell stories of a patient or two from each chapter, but that's not really what this book did.

Minus 1.5 stars because of the, I believe, false advertising of this book
