The Hot Zone by Richard Preston
5.0

This is the best book I ever read for school. My teacher presented us with 3 options we each could choose any of the three, we had to read it over Christmas break, and ya know what, I didn't even mind! I probably would have read something like this for fun anyways. Right off the bat my teacher told me that I shouldn't read the book if I couldn't handle some somewhat disturbing imagery...that sealed the deal, I was in. And she was right, there was some pretty intense stuff in this book...I loved it! The Hot Zone was an amazing book, it was interesting and thrilling right from the beginning. Perhaps what made it most interesting and scary is that it actually happened. Seriously, great book. I'd pick it up and read it again if it wasn't a school copy I returned five years ago.
