Negative Positive
Title: A Fascinating Perspective
Review: To be truthful, I was a bit disappointed when the author admitted at the beginning of the book that this was a novel. I had expected more technical information. However, the book was a very good read and gave an interesting perspective of the first Ebola outbreak from the view of the people directly involved - the villagers and the Catholic missionaries. Dr. Close bases this book on fact, but for the sake of interest, combined some characters and filled in some holes in the story with what he believes happened. Since he was there, nobody can argue the facts. The book does not give any technical information on Ebola and how it works and how it is stopped. It does however, go into decriptions of how this awful disease is spread and how it affects entire villages. Without the technical details, the book is a quick read and though a subject like this could not be called enjoyable, I found it fascinating to read.
