A review by howlinglibraries
Rabid: A Cultural History of the World's Most Diabolical Virus by Monica Murphy, Bill Wasik

slow-paced

2.0

 I gave up around the halfway point, but I read enough of this book to feel comfortable with rating it and giving a brief review. I'm fascinated by rabies and wanted to learn more about it, but by the halfway mark, I'm fairly certain 75% or more of what I'd read actually had little to do with actual rabies cases. It's one thing to look at the potential link between rabies in olden times and werewolf lore; it's another thing entirely to go on a wordy tangent for pages on end about werewolf stories.

I'm bored.
