The Kissing Bug: A True Story of a Family, an Insect, and a Nation's Neglect of a Deadly Disease by Daisy Hernández

4.0

The beginning was slightly frustrating because I went into this expecting a medical book, and got parts of a memior and personal stories. However, in the middle, it becomes a lot easier to read and includes many different explanations and investigative journalism that was written with excitement. Some parts dragged on, but overall, the pace after about 75 pages was great, and I overall enjoyed the read. This is a great book for anyone interested in diseases common among masses of people without access to proper healthcare. It discusses many difficulties relating to race and these diseases, as well as the politics involved.
