"This book is amazing because of its subject matter: smallpox. I learned more than I want to know -- about the big Eradication of smallpox in the late 1970s, to its potential use as a weapon of bioterrorism (not to mention its historical use as a weapon to kill Native Americans). Pretty scary stuff -- when you know it's real!"
"Again, the best stories are true. Steven King has nothing on Richard Preston. My husband has been after me to read this for years. Now that I have, I understand why. The demon in this story is real. He has attacked and will probably be unleashed again. Too scary!"
"I liked learning about smallpox and what it does to the body and the WHO's efforts to eradicate it, but I didn't like the author's style of writing. He went into too much detail on things that weren't important to what was going on, such as what color of pants so and so was wearing, or if they were wearing socks, etc."
"The bar was set high with "Hot Zone" and this was close. I wonder how frequent the losing track of the samples occurs. A scary thought. It made me appreciate the intensity of an organism, exiting a window on one floor and making through another window on a different floor to another person."
