The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee

4.0

Starts strong with a very interesting history of cancer from the ancient times to the present. Then? It gets stuck. The middle portions are overly detailed and lacks the narrative that the first third did. It changes stream from a biography of cancer to an overly detailed analysis of every study ever done on cancer. There, it meanders until he hits his stride again at the end with a strong conclusory chapter. Very good information a around though.
