Title: Parts are good....
Product review: I really enjoyed the first few chapters of this book, and went so far as to recommend it to a friend at that point. When I finished, I told my friend 'nevermind'. In the beginning, the sci-fi part is intriguing, and the historical part is entertaining. But after a little while the futuristic half of this book goes downhill pretty quick. Virtually all the major characters are medical experts, yet they ALL react to the possibility of the BLACK FREAKING DEATH PLAGUE making a comeback as if they were addle-brained children. In short, the characters are unforgivably, annoyingly stupid. The historical part of the book is much better, but still could use improvement. At times I checked the front cover to make sure there wasn't an oil painting of Fabio on it, the book read so much like a Harlequin romance. (Or what I assume one would be like). I'm especially disappointed because it seems like there's a really good book hiding inside there somewhere, tryin! g to get out.
