Title: Good topic, bad portrayal
Review: This is a book about global health but personal perspectives get in the way to see what the reality actual was and looks like. I agree with some of the comments made by previous readers that Tracy Kidder really has a love affair with Paul Farmer. In the book it is overbearing to the point that I felt that it masked his critical thinking. It doesn't help that they (Tracy Kidder and Paul Farmer) look a like, perhaps a little unconscious bias at play there, perhaps racist. That was the main thing that bothered me about this book. If Kidder put a Haitian person on a pedestal or some other ethnic person, I would be less affected by it that's all I'm saying.But other than that, there were some interesting insights into the world of global public health, and for those insights the book is worth reading.
