I'm a public health fiend and intensely interested in virus research and infectious disease, but this was embarrassingly breathless. I found it readable but often cringeworthy, and I also felt the last section was ham-handed and completely unnecessary. On the positive side, I thought the author was respectful and humbled by the people he interviewed.
Thought this was an interesting read in how they provided the true sense of how terrifyingly fast Ebola spreads through Africa. Though the heavy-handed hysteria was a little too much.
The true story of ebola, it reads like a Stephen King novel.

The story is really interesting, especially if you live in the DC area. Unfortunately I don't think it was very well written though.
Well researched, well-written. A compelling story of the discovery of the Marburg and Ebola viruses. Be forewarned that the first couple of chapters contain extremely graphic descriptions of what happens to the body under the effects of these viruses. Do not read while eating!
