Book Reviews of The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels, and the Business of AIDS
Book Review: Funny & Interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
Very funny, very well written book on kind of a dry subject!
Definitely worth reading, because as the quote goes:
Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.
