review 1: Really good, surprisingly gripping read. Pisani is a little off-putting in the opening pages (along the lines of 'this was the prime of my youth and weren't we all bright-young-things'), but she progresses to discussing the epidemic of HIV, the government/NGO responses and the cold hard facts. This is the first book on the subject, so for all I know she could be way off base, but it comes across as a well-researched and interesting book on a controversial topic.
review 2: A female Michael Moore's account of public health and the politics of ignorance and saving face that unfortunately rides hand in hand with life-ending, infectious disease. There's lots of jargon and figures and percentages and it does all put your head into a spin to a certain extent, but it i... mores really just an example of how bureaucratic and unnecessary it has all got. But as we know with war, it's not about many people you kill, it's how much money you can make re-building your country after the tragedy.Brilliantly witty and honest. I'd trust her with my country's outbreak any day. less
