Geronimus is highly quotable, very thorough, and her insights are critically important for the medical community, public health, government policy, and progressive culture. I learned a lot, and I only got halfway through. Maybe I will finish it, but if the length of the book is at all daunting to you, know that every chapter is worth it, and even if you follow my lead and stop halfway through, I still recommend the first half of the book wholeheartedly.
