This book was chosen by SANTA BARBARA READS as the book the community would read this year. It was an excellent and inspired choice. Paul Farmer spoke to the community at a free lecture in October and he was even better than his press. Great sense of humor. Over 300 people turned out to hear him.Book Review: This is one amazing guy

I actually listened to this as a book on tape, but bought the book version as a present. In fact, it was recommended to me by another friend. I found it well written and the subject very interesting. Book Review: An Amazing Man
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is inspiring but troubling as well. I am a nurse and find his ideas of medicine/poverty to be right on target. Fighting the system is what is hard, he manages to do so at least in his areas of clinical work. His take on poverty and the world economic systems while not new, is seen through the eyes of a scientist and an anthropoligist which gives it a slightly new twist. For anyone interested in a larger world view I would recommend this book. Dr. Farmer is a unique man and his efforts, where ever he is, to change the world's systems is a challenge to us all.
