Very scary story but most stories about killer viruses are. For lovers of The Hot Zone, I think they will enjoy this one as well. There is a lot of facts given throughout the book that are tied in with this fictional account of a virus gone rampant around the world. It was educational learning about past viruses, where they came from and how they worked on conquering them. Mixed in those facts is the story of a horrific virus that they have never seen the likes of, it is killing so many people and they can't figure out what to do. It kept my attention throughout the whole book. I did feel that after all that we went through, the ending was kind of rushed. Definitely not for everyone during this time period in our life.
