I have always been fascinated by the Mutter Museum, although I have never had a chance to visit it myself. I had never learned much of anything about Dr. Mutter himself, and I found this book really interesting, albeit a bit slow moving from time to time. Some of the information about his colleagues felt a bit superfluous, but overall I was really engrossed in this and walked away from it feeling like I had learned something I may not ever have known much about otherwise. If you're interested in the medical field or biographies in general, I definitely recommend this.

I had heard of Dr. Mutter before, but I had no idea how influential and compassionate he truly was. His story is incredible and this book presents it in an engaging and informative way.
