In this bold, fascinating book, Biss investigates the metaphors and myths surrounding our conception of immunity and its implications for the individual and the social body. As she hears more and more fears about vaccines, Biss researches what they mean for her own child, her immediate community, America, and the world, both historically and in the present moment.

Fair and non judgemental exploration of vaccines and their history as well as the culture surrounding health and medicine. Very interesting and educational. The performance was also well done.

In 1929, in the blue-collar city of Portsmouth, Ohio, a company built a swimming pool the size of a football field; named Dreamland, it became the vital center of the community. Now, addiction has devastated Portsmouth, as it has hundreds of small rural towns and suburbs across America - addiction like no other the country has ever faced. How that happened is the riveting story of Dreamland.

Enlightening and heartbreaking

It would be hard to say that I enjoyed this book, though I am glad that I read it. It offers a sobering account of the parallel rise of prescription pain medication and black tar heroine. I've known people who overdosed on pain pills and died. I know people who still struggle with their addictions. Dreamland gave me a framework for understanding how they became addicted, and the long and complex process they'll face trying to get clean. I recommend it to anyone who knows an addict, or to anyone who is an addict.
In terms of the quality of the audiobook, I thought the performance was very good. the narrator spoke clearly and it flowed well. It's high quality, both in terms of content and audio.
