Title: An American Plague
Product review: The book is about the 1793 Philadelphia outbreak of yellow fever. What I like about how this book is written is that it is detailed and accurate. It also includes clues as to how the disease came to Philly and from where. I am going to put a few passages from the book in: "The swamps and marshes had already lost a great deal of water due to the intense heat, while the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers had receeded to reveal long stretches of their muddy, root choked banks." Here is another qoute from the book: "Mosquitoes were everywhere though their loud pitched whirring was mostly near rain barrels, gutters, and open sewers." I learned that they have a slow way of dealing with those types of things. If this was my book I would have less talking about things that don't really matter much in the book. I rated this book a two because it is really boring and there is no action or anything. I just think it could have more interesting parts somewhere in the book.
