This is such an odd book, tonally. The descriptions of these fledgling microbiologists are almost whimsical. I've read from the other reviews that it inspired many young people to become doctors so maybe the initial audience wasn't adults. In any case, it's very readable but dated. I learned a lot about a group of doctors I didn't know much about and I'd recommend it if you're interested in germ theory.
