Kaleigh Sullivan: I got this book for one of my summer college courses and I didn’t think I’d like it all that much. I was interested in the subject at hand but was nervous to start it (because a lot of course related books end up looking good but are super monotone and … not great lol). But once I started it I had a great time reading it, it was the first time in a LONG TIME since I’ve felt like I couldn’t and didn’t want to put a book down because of how engrossed I was with it. If you’re looking for a good and easy read that also brings to light the disparities those in Flint, Michigan face (and many others like them) then I HIGHLY suggest this book. It was a pleasure to read and Dr. Hanna-Attisha did an amazing job putting the grim realities into perspective. Please give it a try if you’re interested in environmental justice/issues/policies, social justice/issues, and much more! 10/10 would love to read again tbh.

Judith B. Espinoza: I found Dr Mona very engaging and admirable. What she did to get clean water for her Flint kids was awesome. It's a case study about how to get around corrupt political machines, how to get beyond the politics to the essential lives of people, especially those with no clout in our society today. I loved the emphasis on action and care that Dr Mona made every chance she got. I felt sorry for the sacrifice she had to make with her family in time and attention. How wonderful that they backed her.

Janet M.: Wonderful book about a sad crisis. It is truly incomprehensible that something like this could go on in this day and age. I also enjoyed the parts about Life in Iraq. All in all, a book everyone should read in the hopes of people being informed can help stop another situation like this.

Lisa Gale: As a Michigander, I am still, now, four years after the Flint Water Crisis, horrified that many Flint residents still do not have clean drinking or bathing water in their homes. When the story first broke, two words came to me: environmental racism. I read Dr. Mona Hannah-Attisha's book to understand the magnitude of this issue. It is difficult to understand the foot dragging on so many levels of government over time, to a credible crisis that needed immediate attention. Dr. Mona's book takes the reader on a journey of apathy, finger pointing, blaming, disbelief, and an irresponsible government approach to dealing with people's lives, especially infants who need water mixed with their formula everyday, to one of action and redemption. Her activism stirred people to action finally, through stubborn persistence and credible research. Not only did the State of Michigan respond at a glacial pace, they tried every way possible to discredit and ridicule Dr. Mona for bringing their lack of action to the light of day.

The book is a wonderful blend of scientific thriller, memoir of growing up in an Iraqi Immigrant family, and an in depth view of how government works and does not...

Bob Osborne: I liked Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha after reading just a few pages of her new book, "What the Eyes Don't See." Almost immediately, I started calling her Dr. Mona in my mind, meaning no disrespect by being overly familiar with a woman I have never met, but simply reflecting my growing, and now immeasurable, appreciation for her commitment to do all she could for "her" children -- the kids of Flint, Michigan who were being poisoned by lead in their drinking water. She is a kind person, and the kind of person who I would like to have as a friend, with whom I would like to be on a first-name basis. Not until page 273 did I learn that "Dr. Mona" is what she tells her kids to call her.

Dr. Mona is the kind of doctor we all would want for ourselves, and especially for our children, or grandchildren. She is a teaching doctor, smart and professional, a trainer of pediatricians, but sees patients in her clinic as well. She cares about them as for her own. She views it as both a personal and a professional obligation to look out for them. And as a public health professional, she knows the importance of getting ahead of a situation, of protecting children from harm before they show up in...
