It's a bit rare for me to not want to put down a non-fiction book, but I found this absolutely gripping. The details about life in the Arctic were so tangible and fascinating, I didn't mind the rather frequent loops away from the main story (the race for anti-toxin). Though I of course knew the ending going in, I reveled in the journey and came away with a lot more knowledge. Definitely recommend to anyone who has an interest in dog sledding, Alaska, and medical epidemics.
