Reading slowly but mostly because doing other things and trying to get through the picture books I have at home, not because it's not fascinating, because I am really enjoying this. Can't wait until I get to 1891 on...

Excellent account. Glad Moloka'i by Brennert inspired me to do further reading.

Picking this back up again and will read concurrently with the novel I'm starting tomorrow.

Horrifying atrocities, interesting book. Woe to anyone with psoriasis or any other skin ailment that could be misdiagnosed as leprosy. Still not yet at the Moloka'i novel's main years covered.

Still waiting to get to the years this colony was covered in the novel Moloka'i. I'm enjoying this very much, and much more than if I hadn't already read the novel.

I'm glad Moloka'i by Alan Brennert inspired me to read this book. I'm really "enjoying" it.

A not very decent library copy but I'm glad to be reading this now. The word harrowing is in the sub-title and the word is apt.

Excellent so far. Can't wait until I get to the years that I read about in the novel Moloka'i.

So far, it's very good. I don't think anybody could touch me as much as Rachel did in the novel Moloka'i, but I'm already involved in reading about the people who have been introduced this far. I think this is going to be a hard to put down non-fiction book.

Reading this because I loved Moloka'i by Alan Brennert and am curious to read a non-fiction book about Moloka'i, though I suspect it can't possibly be as riveting as Brennert's novel.
