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

5.0

Man oh man. One of the most interesting books I’ve ever read. There isn’t a one of us who haven’t been in the immediate orbit of cancer at some point in our lives. Be it friends, relatives, ourselves. This look at the history of cancer from antiquity to present day was exquisitely told. Equal parts fascinating and sobering. I feel like I learned so much, and if there’s one group that should have statues built of them, it’s not athletes, but these cancer researchers.

5/5, superb book, a must read if you’re even remotely interested in this topic. Couldn’t put it down.
