 A Rare "Must-Read" Book - Really! October 9, 2008
This is a great book. It is perfect for teenagers, young adults, book groups, church groups, and - really - almost anyone. We don't have to BE Paul Farmer, but if we each do our small part to change the world, it will be so much better. Read this book; it will change your life!
 Justice October 6, 2008
Great book, second time reading it. It is a must read if you care about justice and want to see what others have done to come against it.
Living Saint! September 2, 2008
I love Tracy Kidder's books and this is one of the most uplifting and ispirational on my all-time favorite list!

Paul Farmer is to Haiti what Greg Mortenson is to Pakistan. These are the people who best represent the American citizens to the world and I'm sure there are so many out there who do great sacrifice in their personal lives to help others. Besides being a well-told story of the needs of Haitians, it clearly identifies the problems of treating drug resistant Tuberculosis in other parts of the world as well. Well worth reading! This would be a great book group selection: informative, inspiring and memorable.
Very Inspiring! July 8, 2008

I found this story very inspiring. Few can do as Dr. Farmer has done--he is amazing. This should be required reading for every high school student, in fact, for everyone!
