One of the best researched books I've ever read. I love microbiology and was drawn to Pathogenesis immediately. I loved the petri dishes cover and the title is just great. 
I definitely had expected a bit different content although I wasn't disappointed. If only history was taught at school this way, I might have actually liked the subject! As a person who is not a fan of history, going through ages of events with microbes in mind was great. 
I especially loved the first chapters which were about the first forms of life and pre-homo sapiens. I couldn't stop reading! The rest of the book was also interesting, but as I'm not a huge fan of history in general, there were moments when I thought that I'd like the author to get to microbes sooner. 

All in all, it's written in an easy language, it's a really interesting and an impressive book. I was excited to see the number of references (pages and pages of them!) as I'm definitely going to dive into some of the topics. 

Everyone who'd like to get a different perspective on our history should read it.
