Definitely an interesting story, but it can get awfully dry and bogged down at times. The scientific aspect was the most interesting to me, with the long (and somewhat dull) descriptions of the tiniest minutiae of Goldberger's life holding up the real interest of the book - pellagra (a nutritional disease) and those who had it.
