Harjot ，

I've always been a big fan of Quammen's work。 I've found him to be eminently readable and interesting。 He has a penchant for explaining complicated topics - like virology - in a way that makes it easily understandable。 Very pleased to say that Breathless continues in this tradition。 He has delivered a compelling story in an exceptionally even-handed sort of way。 Tough to do when this is such a highly political topic in 2022。 I would recommend this to anyone interested in the topic。 I've always been a big fan of Quammen's work。 I've found him to be eminently readable and interesting。 He has a penchant for explaining complicated topics - like virology - in a way that makes it easily understandable。 Very pleased to say that Breathless continues in this tradition。 He has delivered a compelling story in an exceptionally even-handed sort of way。 Tough to do when this is such a highly political topic in 2022。 I would recommend this to anyone interested in the topic。 。。。more

Quammen has written one of the better books on our global pandemic， highlighting the history， genesis， and science of the current deadly virus with no conclusions （how can there be）， no finger pointing and no sensationalism。 The author writes on a variety of subjects; nature， travel， science （perhaps closet to his heart） and is skilled in each。Breathless is not mere reportage or narrative nonfiction but somewhere in between that is equally engaging and accessible。
