5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, 1 Nov 2002
By A Customer
Fascinating bit of history and a good read. Not a huge book, but has some interesting etchings of the initial attempts at transfusion.

3.0 out of 5 stars Misguided, 18 Jul 2004
By bookstravel (New York, New York (USA)) - See all my reviews
I thought this was a good book generally, until the chapter titled "The Great Debate." This fictional conference has no place in a non-fiction work. Until this point in the book, the references were presented as citations. On a separate note, the phonetic inclusion of Willis' stutter was unnecessary.
