It's simple: This book changed my life. I became a microbiologist because of this book, which I read when I was in junior high school. Still relevant and easy to read today, it is extremely well written. Easy enough for a 10-12 year to read, yet it does dumb things down to the level an adult would find insulting.
I made a gift of a copy to my best friend's daughter, who is going to school to become a microbiologist.

I am in the middle of this book, and I highly recommend this to anyone interested in science history.

Interesting to science lovers

We already owned one copy of Microbe Hunters but lent it out to a friend of ours who teaches high school science -- so we needed another copy. Microbe Hunters was recommended to me when I was interviewing a girl for a job at Borders bookstore. I asked her to tell me about her favorite book and she talked about Microbe Hunters with such passion that I HAD to find a copy.
This is a great book to give to students of all ages who express a great deal of interest in biology, microbiology, medicine, ... Read More
