Crisis in the Red Zone by Richard Preston

3.0

I received this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. I loved The Hot Zone and had high hopes for this one. It was interesting and frustrating and sad and I learned a lot about the Sierra Leone outbreak. My biggest complaint, though, was that it was very repetitive, and by that, I mean that there were whole paragraphs that were repeated nearly verbatim several times throughout the book. While I might understand if it was a short book and needed filler, the page count could handle losing 20-50 pages of monotony. It's still worth reading, but be ready to skip parts.
