a Man Who Would Cure the World (Random House Reader's Circle)

Review:the positive things about this book (mentioned in other reviews) so far outweigh anything negative about this book or this man. It reminds me of what George Bernard Shaw said: The reasonable man adapts himself to the world - the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

This book has led me to adjust some of my most basic beliefs about what life is all about. Read more

I found the book to be rather boring and told in a matter-of-fact style. I am sure it will appeal to people from Haiti or who have an interest in that country, qualities that I do not possess.
