acnorris 's review for:
The Hot Zone
by Richard Preston
I really enjoyed this book, I love books that weave together horror and real science.
The descriptions of patients that were suffering from the symptoms caused by the replicating virus inside them were bone chilling!
My only critique of this book is that there was too much explanation of the ‘space suits’ and the ‘Decon’ methods when dealing with a Level 4 hot agent. This is the same critique I had for The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton, which is actually referenced a few times in this book.
I think these details are repeated to emphasize the danger of the hot agent, but I often find them repetitive and dull.
But I would recommend this book to people that enjoy Michael Crichton books and medical thrillers!
