I wish this book had been written by somebody else. I'm going to list my complaints. 1. The writing is /awful/. The plot is interesting, but having to read it was painful. 2. On a similar note, every single thing that had to be explained in this book was explained in the most condescending manner EVER. 3. The women in this book only existed as love interests. They had almost NO other roles, and were so, so poorly written. 4. There was an unnecessary obsession with erections and ejaculations. TheIt was very interesting and yet a bit creepy. All this seems so real and realistic, we don't know so many things about viruses, bacteria and toxic materials...At times the information was too professional though and was hard to understand but there was a suspense till the end.
Finished it pretty quickly. Not the best book I've ever read. The character plot twists were fairly predictable. The plague's were pretty clever and explained with pretty good detail. Those, I didn't see coming. But I can't say that I was amazed by this book.
All too scary, all too real with way too much detail.
For the genre this was pretty good. I enjoy reading about diseases and found the science fascinating. The plot was a bit obvious and you never really find out why the main character was targeted but overall it was a fast-paced thriller.
It started off good but what a struggle to get through. The storyline just dragged and dragged. Every now and then, the author's would throuw you a juicy tidbit but then you were stuck with blah, blah, blah. I don't recommend this book at all.
This is simply a wonderfully horrifying epidemiological thriller. Despite being published in 1998 its warnings and thrills are just as relevant today. I read this when it was first published and finished a re-read last night. All I can say is since 1998 I have been freaking out my eye doctors with a question inspired by this book.
