"I am re-reading this book. This is one of the most fascinating books I have ever read. Fuller tells of an event that seems like it is coming from the dark ages, but happened just before I was born in 1951 in France. This is not a very remote event, yet it seems like it is very remote, since it is nearly incomprehensible that an event like this could even happen in modern times.
The writing method is nonfiction yet in a riveting manner. I was never bored for one second when I read this book the first time, so I am going to read it again for pleasure (the subject is not pleasurable, but the act of reading about it is.)"
"This book tells the fascinating story of a fateful day in the history of a small southern French town named Pont St. Esprit, when a baker received some flour mixed with some tainted rye and the amazing mass poisoning of most of the town's residents. If you want to warn a teenager about the horrors of drugs, this is the book to buy!"
