    “Fantastic read. Descriptions get a little tough to stomach but also very helpful to know why it was so horrific. So many illnesses, diseases, bugs that I hadn’t really examined outside of the abstract. When you learn what it actually does to people it’s easier to understand why there are these massive cultural, religious, economic shakeups.”
