This is one of the most illuminating and intriguing books I've ever read. Preston's writing style is so engaging; I just couldn't put the book down. This work gave me a new appreciation for the microbes that surround us and it inspired so many questions that I spent a long time researching.

This book is disgusting in the best way possible. The gory details of illness and death is nauseating, but the storyline and the information is so captivating that you can’t put it down.
This book is also devastatingly sad. You will cry, you will mourn for the people and animals who’s stories are told. The Hot Zone makes a really human connection with the reader, and it ensures that you stay interested in the fast paced novel.
