Pretty good. I’ve already read a book by Kneale called Sweet Thames which was a fictional account of this very incident so I almost felt as if I’d read the book before. Fairly fascinating epidemiology considering what’s currently taking place, as well as, the conclusion covers future pandemic issues (albeit from a 2006 perspective) which was relevant.

DNF: far too much fluff, clearly just trying to fill pages by waxing lyrical about irrelevant things.
