Title: A realistic, scary account of a deadly virus.
Product review: It took me 6 months of looking at this book to finally pick it up and read it, and then I wondered why I waited so long! Mr. Preston is a very down-to-earth, readable author of non-fiction.The book itself made me MUCH more aware of what a virus is. This particular virus, Ebola and its various strains, is extremely scary in that each strain travels a different way. Where one strain only passes in bodily fluids and thus requires actually touching a victim, other strains are airborne - you only need to be in the same room as a "host" or victim and you've got it.I passed the book to a co-worker to read when I was done. Halfway through, she caught a stomach virus and wouldn't finish the book! That's how realistic and scary it is.
