My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/922495126">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This story was a little odd, for lack of a better word.  The story had an interesting flow and I felt the author got a little side tracked sometimes.  I loved the character of Mary Mallon.  She was a strong woman who had courage coursing through her blood.   <br>Here is a spoiler:  I was so bummed she fell in love with a dork like Alfred.  I was so glad she dumped him after 20 years of being a lazy bum, and then she goes and gets back together.  Lame!  It was so disappointing to me.  I am probably a horrible person, but I was glad Alfred went through all the miserable stuff he did.  He was a scum bag.She had such courage to fight off all the doctors and fight against her order to never cook again.  I was so proud of her.  Cheering the whole way! <br>The story got a little slow in the middle.  I remember looking at my reader seeing 60% or so and thinking the book is about to wrap up.  I almost felt like it was two stories.  The story before the Island and the story after the island.  I liked the story after the island better. <br>I enjoyed the book overall.  Clean language and only small sexual references.
