Rating: Summary: "The Hot Zone" is the best book ever Review: This is the best book I have ever read. Pick it up and you'll never want to put it down. It is very vivid (in some ways more than others- gives many details on grusome effects of the virus) and well written. This is a very informative, historical, and factual book. I love it!!
Rating: Summary: Excellent Book - Comes Highly Recommended Review: I enjoyed Richard Preston's writing style. He is a real 'hands-on' type author. Stephen King may write about scary things, but he only sits in his cabin in Maine. Mr. Preston describes in chilling detail a dank, putrid cave in the middle of Africa where a deadly virus is found; then, he goes there and ACTUALLY visits the cave himself!The virus that lived in the cave has the potential to wipe human life from the face of planet Earth. But, Preston boldly travels where few would dare to tread in more ways than one. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who feels like losing a few nights of sleep. Once you start reading, you WON'T be able to put it down.
Rating: Summary: The ultimate virus thriller of them all. Review: I started to read this book since my science teacher read an insert and I got interested I could not put it down. I even got in trouble in my lit class for not putting it down. This is my number one book of all time. Now im reading Richard Prestons The Cobra Event. What could this great author think of next?

Rating: Summary: An awesome reading experience! Review: I missed sleep at times because I could'nt put this book down. The spread of infectious diseases is the ultimate monster! A five star classic!
Rating: Summary: Great, until the very end. Review: This book was terrific almost all the way through --- exciting, interesting, suspenseful and informative. Then, in the last chapter or so, the author started inserting his pseudo-scientific/philosophical theories about nature and ecology. Aside from the fact that they make no sense and are logically flawed, they just do not belong in the book and stick out like a sore thumb after the straightforward, documentary approach of the rest of the book. Worth reading, but skip the last chapter.
Rating: Summary: Don't Be Fooled By Those Enticing Reviews Review: Don't wast you time, money, or effort in reading this "book". I unfortunatley had to read this monster of a book for english, but if I didn't have to I would have put it down after the first chapter. Don't be fooled by the enticing reviews, cause you'll be sorry. Remember, I warned y-o-u!!
Rating: Summary: Scared the wits out of me! Great book! Review: When I started this book, I could not put it down! This is the scariest horror story I've ever read. Compelling!
Rating: Summary: A well written, exciting book Review: This book is one of the best books I've read. The book is so discriptive and true that it gives you the chills and make you have a hard time putting it down. I recomend this book to anyone who's looking for a book about a natural human killer.
