It's not easy to make analyses of scientific experimentation vivid and moving, but Mukherjee's anecdotal style turns this "biography of cancer" into a thrilling page-turner. The serendipity of discovery, the patience of scientists, and the importance of public relations are all focuses of his tome. Best book I've read all year, and perfect for the waiting room at Sloan Kettering.
