Since it doesn't really relate to me, I'm staying out of this debate and probably won't read the book.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-82535339176601151542015-04-30T17:30:40.539-04:002015-04-30T17:30:40.539-04:00Trish - There are so many aspects to immunization,...Trish - There are so many aspects to immunization, it would have been impossible for Biss to cover everything in as much depth as I would have liked. Guess she had to draw the line somewhere.<br /><br />And I really should have mentioned the narration, even in a mini-review... Marston did a great job!

Though as you mention, it was likely the scope and audience that kept these parts brief. I thought the narration was excellent.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.com
