Add a CommentI am disturbed by this, as well of the literate world. This book personifies the angst of every germophobe, and rightly so. I will never look at coffee grounds or ride a plane ever again.
The Hot Zone was a very enthralling read-- I couldn't put it down and ended up finishing it in a day. Definitely recommended for anyone interested in epidemiology or virology.
This book is really difficult to understand at times. I would not recommend a person under 13 read this book!
this book was very intriuging. its about a virus that infects a huge biulding and the entire city is quarentined and the army has to wear space-suits inside the biulding to get rid of the disease.
facinating
