kellymcgatha 's review for:
The Hot Zone
by Richard Preston
Update: since first writing a review for this book, I've learned that Richard Preston over dramatized the horrors of Ebola. Patients don't usually "bleed out" as he describes. I've also had time to think about the book's overly dramatic back cover description and how much that annoyed me. I still really enjoyed the book, but I do hate finishing a book only to find out that the author deceived me in some way. So far, I'm finding that David Quammen's Spillover is a much more accurate portrayal of Ebola.
Absolutely terrifying and really hard to put down. The Ebola virus is more fascinating and horrifying than I realized. If graphic descriptions make you sick, then don't read this book.
The only thing I didn't like about the book was the last chapter. It's not that it was bad; it was just unnecessary and felt anticlimactic after that fast paced story.
