A National Bestseller, a New York Times Notable Book, and an Entertainment Weekly Best Book of the Year from the author of Extra Life   “By turns a medical thriller, detective story, and paean to city life, Johnson's account of the outbreak and its modern implications is a true page-turner.” —The Washington Post “Thought-provoking.” —Entertainment Weekly It's the summer of 1854, and London is just emerging as one of the first modern cities in the world. But lacking the infrastructure-garbage removal, clean water, sewers-necessary to support its rapidly expanding population, the city has become the perfect breeding ground for a terrifying disease no one knows how to cure. As the cholera outbreak takes hold, a physician and a local curate are spurred to action-and ultimately solve the most pressing medical riddle of their time. In a triumph of multidisciplinary thinking, Johnson illuminates the intertwined histories of the spread of disease, the rise of cities, and the nature of scientific inquiry, offering both a riveting history and a powerful explanation of how it has shaped the world we live in.

I really enjoy non-fiction books about epidemics and history. I enjoyed parts of this book for that reason. What I didn't like was reading the same thing over and over - it became quite annoying. This author seems so impressed with his own ideas and prose that he cannot help pounding the reader over the head with the same content multiple times. He reuses certain phrases so frequently, I found myself gritting my teeth when I ran into yet another instance. A good editor would have stripped the redundancy from the text and left the book about half as long.I also didn't much care for the flight of fancy at the end. It was a completely off-topic, unsupported ramble that one might encounter at a cocktail party when everyone's had a few - I did not expect or want to find it in a book that's supposed to be about a cholera epidemic.If this book was edited, the author should consider employing a different editor who will be honest with him about his repetitive and gushy writing style. Finishing this text was a slog.
