review 1: Interesting story about folks dealing with tuberculosis in Saranac Lake, Upper New York. The book focuses on several peoples stories from one who studies and tries to cure Tb to those who have it. I thought it was really interesting how the Author mingles her own family history with this disease (in fact, one of the people featured in this book is a family member) with some fictionalized people as well.
review 2: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. One Thousand Porches is a very good and very fast read. I definitely learned a lot about tuberculosis--I did not know there were different kinds of TB. I do not know that I had ever heard of Dr. Edward Trudeau but he is a man much to be admired for all that he did for TB patients and the ... moreexperiments he conducted to learn more about the disease. This book was well worth the read and was also a great history lesson. less
