Justin Winokur's Read Books: Blog 2
Tuesday, September 01, 2026
Narrated by: Sunil Malhotra
Length: 23 hrs and 54 mins
Release date: 02-03-09
Reread from 2019
I throughly enjoyed this book and, in as much as is possible for me to control, I devoued it. I do not know if it was something about being a reread so I could pick up more foreshadowing and other details or if it is was just the story, but I found it almost comforting to read it.
I was inspired by John Green - Everything is Tuberculosis to reread this and I am glad I did!

Full Title: Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
By: John Green
Narrated by: John Green
Length: 5 hrs and 35 mins
Release date: 03-18-25
I found this interesting and informative. I didn't know any of the connections to TB nor the current state of it. My biggest complaint in that, while I generally agree or at least am sympathetic and tentatively agree with all of the positions, this became an opinion piece beyond a non-fiction exploration.
It did make me want to reread Cutting For Stone, originally read in 2019, next.

I generally enjoyed it and was hooked. I wish there was a clearer answer in the end as to all of the mysteries. I get that it is part of the point but I still really wanted answers!

I thought it was fine but was disappointed this earned a "Reese's Book Club" pick. It was a bit predictable with no redeeming characters. I was interested enough in what was going to happen but not so much that it was worth more stars.

Very intense but a worthy read. Vivid and clear descriptions that made you appreciate what really went on and also realize there is likely no point at which you will really understand it.
I did really struggle with all of the names. ChatGPT plus the chart in the front (pulled from the Libby E-book version) helped.

Intense and visceral but also very good!
