Negative Positive
Title: Entertaining, but weak story
Review: Pandemic by Daniel Kalla is an entertaining and highly relevant apocalyptic adventure story (in these times with h1n1, SARS, swine-, bird- and Mexican flu) yet as a high ranked epidemic-focused science fiction thriller, the style and rythm of the story seem to be out of synch. On occasion the storyline bogs down into too much technical detail about virology and epidemology, which interrupts the pace of the narration. Not that some stretches of the book are too slow; the book is in general fast moving. Parts are are not very realistic (especially if you know more about the topic) and on occasion it is hard to connect with the main protagonists.
