Review title: An Engineering Disaster Product review: This cheese grater is an unmitigated engineering disaster. The mechanical "snaps" on the fold in handles are made of plastic. Within days, _both_ grating wheel had their handle "snaps" break right off. The rubber (in gray in the pic) gripper for the handle also pops off. The design may have been clever if the snap parts were made of metal or something that didn't break the minute the device was used with a piece of cheese.

You are considering whether to buy a product. You look at the reviews. Would the following review decrease or increase the chances of you buying the product? Review title: Fast read, dated writing style Product review: De Kruif initially copyrighted this book in 1926, and the writing style shows--enthusiastic and somewhat corny. It also includes some racial slurs that pop up out of nowhere--standard for the time, I'm sure, but startling and offensive nonetheless.Despite this, the book is a fast and interesting read, and provides a good deal of color for scientists whom most of us previously regarded as dry and distinguished. I don't know how much liberty he takes in building these characters, but I will now never forget Leeuwenhoek.The book ends with Paul Ehrlich in the early 20th century, so the past hundred years of infectious disease research obviously isn't covered. It's definitely a fun look at the history of science and disease, however, and I recommend it for anyone interested in the topic.
